A Little Help Choosing
Start with how much detail and visual space you want. The Ambassadors combines two standing figures with shelves of objects; a larger size gives those instruments, books and the distorted skull more room. For a quieter upright composition, Christina of Denmark offers a full-length figure in dark clothing. A Lady with a Squirrel and a Starling brings a blue background, pale fur cap and small animals into a more intimate portrait. If Tudor history interests you, compare Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves. With these art reproductions, consider the sitter and setting as well as colour, and check the painting’s proportions against your wall before selecting a size.
Size and framing
Measure the available wall space and consider the painting’s proportions. The Ambassadors is almost square, while Christina of Denmark is notably tall and narrow. A larger reproduction can make small objects and costume details easier to enjoy; a smaller portrait can work well where you will see it close up. Include the frame in your measurements.
Our replica oil paintings are hand-painted in oils on canvas. We can discuss the listed sizes or a custom size and help you compare handmade frame mouldings. Gold, silver and painted finishes, including Farrow & Ball colours, offer different ways to complement Holbein’s blues, greens, dark clothing and fine jewellery.
Once we have discussed sizes and prices, we can provide a free room mock-up. Send a straight-on photograph of the wall and its measurements so you can judge the scale and frame together. You can also browse the framing brochure for examples before settling on a finish with our help.

About Hans Holbein the Younger
Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8–1543) · German Renaissance painter
Hans Holbein the Younger was born in Augsburg in the winter of 1497–98 and trained with his father, Hans Holbein the Elder. He joined the artists’ guild in Basel in 1519, working on paintings and designs for woodcuts and wall decoration. His career extended beyond portraiture to jewellery and metalwork design.
In 1526 he travelled to England with a recommendation from the scholar Erasmus to Thomas More. He returned in 1532 and spent the rest of his life there, portraying people connected with the Tudor court. Such portraits could serve practical purposes: Christina of Denmark was painted as a potential bride for Henry VIII, while The Ambassadors records two visitors to his court.
Holbein’s precision gives these images their particular force. Fabrics, jewellery, hands and personal objects establish a sitter’s position, yet the face remains a compelling presence within that display. His paintings reward looking beyond the likeness to the things arranged around it. He died in London in 1543, leaving an enduring record of Renaissance society.
