<i>Nicolas Bourbon.</i> Woodcut. 
<p>The French poet <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbon" class="extiw" title="w:Nicolas Bourbon">Nicolas Bourbon</a> (1503–after 1550) met Holbein when the former came to England in 1535 after being imprisoned in France for supporting religious reform. He was welcomed and helped in England by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Boleyn" class="extiw" title="w:Anne Boleyn">Anne Boleyn</a>, a reformist and a patron of Holbein. This woodcut is based on a painting, now lost, or on <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nicolas_Bourbon,_by_Hans_Holbein.jpg" title="File:Nicolas Bourbon, by Hans Holbein.jpg">the study Holbein made for it</a>. The woodcut places the figure in the reverse direction, but still using the right hand to write. Of the painting, Bourbon wrote: "Hans in painting me was greater than Apelles", referring to the famous painter of Greek antiquity.
