On the 3rd of July, 1520, Holbein fulfilled what was then the requirement of almost every guild, and purchased his citizenship; a citizenship to reflect unfading honour on Basel, and of which she has ever been justly proud. And somewhere about the same time he married Elsbeth Schmidt, a tanner's widow, who had one child, Franz. Basel Museum

"A boy," said Frau Elsbeth, with a feeble smile. "Has he found any brothers or sisters already? But why do I ask?
His mother stroked his hair and warned him not to eat too much. She spoke very softly, and kept looking down upon the ground before her.
