# Heinrich von Rhein zum Mohren [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FABER VON CREUZNACH, Conrad]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on panel, 54 x 37 cm ## Commentary The bearded sitter in this portrait rests his arms on a stone parapet and holds a rosary with a pomander attached. He wears a broad-rimmed hat over a gold cap, a fur coat over a black shirt and white undershirt, and a gold ring on the left index finger. In the background at left, a bridge over a lake leads to a rocky outcropping topped by a castle; on the right there is a house near a winding road, and fortifications at the edge of the lake are connected to an island by a bridge. There are two known copies of the portrait, one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York \(oil on oak panel, datable 1530-50\) and another in the Städelsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt \(oil on copper, late sixteenth century\). ## Related artworks - [Gilbrecht and Anna von Holzhausen]() - [Gilbrecht von Holzhausen the Younger]() - [Heinrich von Rhein zum Mohren]() - [Portrait of a Man with a Moor's Head on His Signet Ring]() - [Portrait of Anna von Holzhausen, née Ratzeburg]() - [Portrait of Justinian von Holzhausen and his Wife]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
