Focus on Portrait of the Artist's Family (Holbein) and analyze the Ownership.
For several years the painting was in the possession of Holbein's wife, Elsbeth Binzenstock. By 1543 it was in the possession of Hans Asper, a portrait painter from Zurich. Asper received several offers for the painting, including from Basilius Amerbach, but refused to sell it. Only after Asper's death did the portrait came into possession of Amerbach, who paid six crowns through the intermediation of the pharmacist Georg Clauser from Zurich. The portrait was described in the inventory of the Amerbach Cabinet in 1586, which was bought by the city of Basel in 1661. The painting is exhibited in the Kunstmuseum Basel.
