Summary

Description
English: Portrait of Sir John Gage. Black and coloured chalks, reinforced with pen and brush and Indian ink and with metalpoint on pink-primed paper, 39.8 × 29.1 cm, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.

The drawing has been reworked in pen and ink and (on the gown) in metalpoint by other hands. In the words of art historian K. T. Parker: "The work in Indian ink is devoid of skill or sensitiveness, and is certainly not by Holbein. But traces of left-handed shading appear in the hat, and there can be little doubt that the drawing, in spite of its injuries, is fundamentally an original of the master" (K. T. Parker, The Drawings of Hans Holbein at Windsor Castle, Oxford: Phaidon, 1945, OCLC 822974, p. 57).

Sir John Gage (1479–1556/57) was a military commander and politician under Henry VIII and Edward VI.
