Portrait d'un membre de la famille Wedigh, probablement Hermann Wedigh (mort en 1560)

Hans Holbein the Younger German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 612

Le modèle, dont la bague est ornée des armes de la famille Wedigh, de Cologne, est probablement Hermann von Wedigh III, membre d’une société marchande : la London Steelyard. Sur la feuille glissée dans le petit livre de prières se lit une phrase de la comédie romaine Andria, œuvre de Térence : « La vérité engendre la haine ». Allusion au contenu du livre ou devise personnelle du modèle ?
