Portrait of a Man
Summary
A reproduction produced by the Vasari Society of a drawing by Wolfgang Huber. The drawing is a portrait of a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat. He has a direct gaze, and his right eyebrow is slightly raised. He is wearing a pale shirt with a wide-collared overgarment. Text from the accompanying booklet produced by the Vasari Society: "16. WOLFGANG HUBER (b. about 1490; d. 1553) PORTRAIT OF A MAN Collection of Henry Oppenheimer, Esq. From the Sir W. W. Knighton and Heseltine Collections. Coloured chalks. With a genuine date 1522, and a false monogram of Dürer. 28 x 21.7 cm. (11 x 8 1/2 in.). A reproduction in monochrome, and on a reduced scale, can only give an imperfect idea of this most impressive drawing, which shows one side of the varied talent of the Passau master at its very best. It is one of the many fine portrait drawings of the German school of this date that are extant. C. D. [Published on a small scale in the privately printed volume, Original Drawings chiefly of the German School in the Collection of J. P. H(eseltine), No. 26, where it was described as a portrait of Martin Luther by Huber.]"
