Did you by chance mean the portrait of Sir Brian Tuke in the Munich Gallery, page 211 in the Klassiker der Kunst "Holbein" by Paul Ganz? This picture was considered for a long time to be a genuine Holbein but for some time has been known to be merely a copy and is under the heading of "Copies" in the Ganz work.
