A portrait drawing of Sir Thomas Lestrange (c.1490-1545) on pink prepared paper. He is shown bust length, facing three-quarters to the left. A bust length portrait facing three-quarters to the left.  Holbein has captured the sitter's slim, elegant features with sharp black chalk. Touches of white indicate the shine on the sitter's hair and the white linen of his shirt.

An eighteenth-century inscription (a copy of a mid-sixteenth-century original) at top left identifies the sitter as 'Tho: Strange Knight.'

Thomas Lestrange was a courtier and Norfolk landowner whose main residence was Hunstanton Hall, near the north Norfolk coast. He married Anne Vaux in 1501. She was the sister of Thomas, Baron Vaux, who was drawn by Holbein in around 1535 (RCIN 912245). It may have been Vaux's commission that encouraged Lestrange to seek his own portrait shortly afterwards.

Two paintings of Lestrange, both probably copies of Holbein's original were recorded in his descendants' collection in the early twentieth century. One of these is now in the Kimbell Museum, Fort Worth, and previously bore an inscription dating the portrait to 1536.
