Summary
DescriptionRichard, Baron Rich, by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg |
English: Portrait of Richard, Baron Rich. Black and coloured chalks, pen and Indian ink on pink-primed paper, 32.2 × 26.5 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. The drawing is in bad condition, with a water stain along the bottom and another by the left eye. Holbein's work has been almost completely obliterated by rubbing and by later hands, but traces of his left-handed shading are discernible in the hat (Parker, p. 57).
Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich (1496/7–1567), was Solicitor General in 1533. He gave evidence against Sir Thomas More and Bishop John Fisher before their executions in 1535, and also against Thomas Cromwell, who was executed in 1540. He became Lord Chancellor in 1548, as the inscription added later indicates. Holbein also drew the portrait of Rich's wife, Elizabeth. |
