🖼 Portrait of an Old Man, -

Piercing eyes and weathered features dominate this portrait, rendered with Holbein's characteristic precision and subtle modeling in oil. The psychological intensity captures Renaissance portraiture at its apex, revealing both the sitter's dignity and the artist's mastery of human character.
