Hans Holbein the Elder German, Augsburg (1460-1524) Issenheim, France.

He had two sons, both artists and printmakers: Ambrosius Holbein and Hans Holbein the Younger. He made a number of portrait drawings that foreshadow the work of his famous son, Hans Holbein the Younger. After 1516 Holbein was declared a tax defaulter in Augsburg, which forced him to accept commissions abroad.
