List of portrait drawings by Hans Holbein the Younger
The following is a list of portrait drawings by Hans Holbein the Younger that are generally accepted as by his own hand.
The drawing is related to a circular painting by Holbein in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt. As was revealed by X-ray radiograms, the sitter's beard in the painting was initially much shorter, making it more similar to the drawing.
The drawing is a study for a painted portrait by Holbein, also in the Royal Collection.
The drawing relates to a circular miniature by Holbein, also in the Royal Collection.
A drawing of her mother Margaret Wotton, Marchioness of Dorset, by Holbein, is also in the Royal Collection; a related 1560s painted portrait, by a follower of Holbein, is in the Weiss Gallery in London; while a late-16th-century one is at Anglesey Abbey, Lode, Cambridgeshire.

Another drawing by Holbein, formerly identified as that of Anne Boleyn, is in the British Museum, London.
Formerly identified as his cousin Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire (father of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII).
The costume resembles the one worn by Henry VIII in the cartoon for the lost Whitehall Mural (and the many portraits derived from it). The mural was dated 1537, which gives the approximate date for the drawing; David Starkey dates it specifically to the autumn of 1537 on biographical grounds.
