Hans Holbein the Younger, Volume 2 (of 2)

The following list of Holbein’s pictures and portraits in public and private collections in England and abroad consists merely of the title of each work, the date whenever known, and the number in Woltmann’s list, together with a reference to the page or pages and the plates in the present book in which the particular picture is described or reproduced. Holbein’s very numerous drawings, studies, and designs are not included. For these the reader must be referred to the second volume of Dr. Woltmann’s book, and, more particularly, to the important publication, now in course of issue, under the editorship of Dr. Paul Ganz, which is to include a facsimile reproduction of every one of the master’s drawings. Nor does this list include Holbein’s woodcuts and book illustrations, for which the student is referred to Woltmann, Passavant, Butsch, and others.
