Design for a Chimney-piece. Pen and black ink with grey, blue, and red wash on paper, 53.9 × 47 cm, British Museum, London.
Throughout his career, Holbein produced many designs for furniture, plate, jewellery, clocks, and other luxury goods; but this design is the only evidence that he made architectural designs in England, and the coat of arms indicates that he made it for Henry VIII. His chimney-piece design incorporates battle scenes and roundels of blind Justice on the right and Charity on the left and Esther before Ahasuerus below. It has been suggested that the chimney-piece was for the fireplace in Whitehall Palace.
