"Portrait of a Gentleman" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Venetian artist Alessandro Longhi, renowned for his portraiture and genre scenes. The work is a quintessential example of Longhi's adeptness at capturing the elegance and refined demeanor of the Venetian aristocracy during the period. The painting depicts an unidentified male subject, presumed to be a member of the upper echelons of society, given the sartorial details and the confident yet relaxed pose that was typical of the portraiture of the time.

Alessandro Longhi (1733–1813), the son of the famous painter Pietro Longhi, was a prominent figure in the Venetian art scene. He not only contributed to the world of fine arts through his paintings but also through his biographical work on Venetian artists. "Portrait of a Gentleman" is characteristic of Longhi's style, which often involved a naturalistic approach to the sitter's visage and attire, set against a muted background that accentuates the figure. The painting's composition, use of light, and the detailed rendering of textures—such as the luxurious fabrics of the gentleman's clothing—demonstrate Longhi's skill and the influence of his father's work.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to the mid-to-late 18th century, a period when Longhi was most active in his career. The identity of the gentleman in the portrait remains a subject of speculation, as is common with many portraits of the era that were not accompanied by explicit documentation. The artwork is significant for its art historical value, providing insight into the cultural and social milieu of Venice during the time, as well as for its demonstration of Longhi's mastery in portraiture.

"Portrait of a Gentleman" is held in various art collections and has been displayed in museums around the world, contributing to the understanding of the Venetian artistic legacy and the broader context of European portraiture. Its provenance, exhibition history, and any notable sales at auction contribute to its narrative, reflecting the journey and reception of the painting through the centuries.
