1541, Hans Holbein the Younger, Portrait of a Young Merchant -- Kunsthistorisches Museum (Vienna)

From the museum label: Holbein created a new portrait style characterised by monumentality paired with extreme precision in painting. The young merchant turns to the viewer at a slight angle. Especially expressive are the physiognomy and the play of the hands that are busy with a few objects befitting to the depicted man's occupation.
