          text: '<i><b>St Adrian</b></i>, chiaroscuro drawing. Pen and ink and brush, grey wash, white heightening, on grey prepared paper, <span style="white-space:nowrap">27.2 (to tip of sword) × 18.5 cm</span>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louvre" class="extiw" title="w:Louvre">Louvre</a>, Paris.This drawing depicts <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_and_Natalia_of_Nicomedia" class="extiw" title="w:Adrian and Natalia of Nicomedia">St Adrian of Nicodemia (or Nicomedia)</a>, a Roman officer martyred in A D 290 after his conversion to Christianity. The sword and anvil allude to the manner of his death: his hands were cut off and his legs broken on an anvil. The lion at his feet is the lion that by legend refused to attack him. Adrian&apos;s iconography made him the patron saint of smiths, so Holbein&apos;s client may have been a smith, perhaps the swordsmith for whom he designed <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Design_for_a_Swordsmith%27s_Sign,_by_Hans_Holbein_the_Younger.jpg" title="File:Design for a Swordsmith&apos;s Sign, by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg">a coat of arms</a>, which he rendered in the same style (Müller, 218).'
