Holbein Stitch is Blackwork Embroidery (a Double Running Stitch)?

Hans Holbein the Younger was an artist from the early half of the 16th century, who became a court painter for King Henry VIII of England. The blackwork embroidery in so many of his portraits were so detailed that this particular type of double-running stitch (also known as Spanish Work) earned the nickname of Holbein Stitch.
