Das „Bildnis Hanns Durr“ ist – wie auch Katalognummer 7 („Bildnis Sebolt Schwarcz“) – eines der seltenen monogrammierten Werke Hans Brosamers. Der ursprünglich aus Fulda stammende Maler zählte im Nürnberg der 1520iger Jahre zu einem der gefragtesten Porträtisten der Oberschicht. Sein Stil ist sowohl von dem in Wittenberg tätigen Lucas Cranach dem Älteren (1472-1553), als auch von Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) in Nürnberg beeinflusst.

Hans Brosamer inszeniert das „Bildnis Hanns Durr“ vor grünem Grund, auf welchen der den Dargestellten begleitenden Schlagschatten fällt. Vor diesem kommen das schwarze Barett mit den Goldstiften und das geschlitzte hellrote Wams voll zur Geltung. Der Dargestellte hält mit beiden Händen ein Schwert. Die Goldkette, die im Wams verschwindet, aber in den weiß unterlegten Schlitzen weiter verfolgt werden kann, sollte wie auch die zehn Ringe für einen Patrizier, wenn nicht für eine adlige Herkunft sprechen (vgl.
