This portrait belongs to a group of fine paintings bearing the HB monogram, which on the basis of stylistic similarities to the fully signed Portrait of Johann von Otthera (1536; Private collection) have been widely accepted as Hans Brosamer’s work. Renowned for his portraits, Brosamer must have been a favourite amongst the Nuremberg clientele, since a number of works dating to the late 1520s all show sitters from that city. This portrait fits well within this group, making it quite likely that Jochum Wirman was a Nuremberg citizen as well.
