“Portrait of a Member of the Wedigh Family” by Hans Holbein the Younger is a captivating oil painting completed in 1533. The portrait, now housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, depicts a member of the Wedigh family from Cologne. Although the sitter’s name is lost to history, the coat of arms prominently displayed on his signet ring provides a clue to his identity. The Wedigh family was associated with the Steelyard, a guild of German merchants based in London. Holbein masterfully captures the man’s forthright gaze and frontal pose, distinguishing this portrait from his English sitters who preferred three-quarter or profile views. The refined lettering in Roman capitals, inscribed with the work’s date and the sitter’s age, showcases Holbein’s attention to detail. Through this portrait, we glimpse not only an individual but also the rich tapestry of trade, family, and identity in the vibrant Hanseatic League community of 16th-century London.
