Double Portrait of Jakob Meyer zum Hasen and Dorothea Kannengießer


The Double Portrait of Jakob Meyer zum Hasen and Dorothea Kannengießer is a 1516 oil on limewood panel painting by Hans Holbein the Younger. The two panels were commissioned by Jakob Meyer zum Hasen, mayor of Basel, and show him and his second wife Dorothea Kannengießer. They are the earliest surviving portraits by the artist and are linked to drawings he may have made in his hometown of Augsburg. Both panels are now in the Kunstmuseum Basel.
