In Portrait of the Artist's Family (Holbein), how is the Influences of the Description elucidated?
It is assumed that the painting was larger and that the third piece of paper on the right included another figure, either a depiction of Holbein himself or a woman resembling the Lais of Corinth. A drawing of the mother and the two children and a woman resembling Lais of Corinth can be seen in the Albertina in Vienna. The portrait seemed to have influenced the works of Hans Asper who, in a portrait of a woman in 1538, has transformed the two children into a cat and a dog. There exist several paintings inspired by the portrait. For example, in the Palais de Beaux Arts de Lille there is a pastiche with a religious connotation in which the family is joined by a woman inspired by Holbein's Lais of Corinth in the Albertina in Vienna.
