Description: Ambrosius and Hans Holbein. Silverpoint on white-coated paper, 10.3 × 15.5 cm, Berlin State Museums. The names "Prosy" (left) and "Hans" (right) are written over the heads of the boys. According to art historian Stephanie Buck: "The hand-written notes make this silverpoint drawing one of the most personal documents of an artist's family of the early modern era. The sheet probably comes from a sketchbook in which various portraits were kept." (Buck, p. 8.)
