"Portrait of a Man" (1634–1635) is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, one of the most prominent painters of the Spanish Golden Age and a leading artist in the court of King Philip IV. The painting is a bust-length depiction of an unidentified man, and it is celebrated for its realistic representation and the masterful use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures.

The artwork measures 68.6 cm by 56.5 cm and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The portrait is characterized by the sitter's direct gaze, which engages the viewer, and the subtle rendering of his facial features, which reflect Velázquez's skill in capturing the psychological complexity of his subjects. The man in the painting is dressed in black, with a white ruff collar, which was typical of the Spanish Habsburg court fashion of the time. The dark attire contrasts sharply with the lighter background, drawing attention to the sitter's face and expression.

"Portrait of a Man" is often noted for its enigmatic quality, as the identity of the sitter remains unknown. Scholars have speculated that the subject could be a member of the nobility or a person of significance in the court, but no definitive evidence has been found to confirm the sitter's identity. The painting is a testament to Velázquez's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the inner life of his subjects through nuanced and expressive brushwork.

The work is an important piece in the oeuvre of Velázquez, who is renowned for his portraits of the Spanish royal family and other notable figures of the time. "Portrait of a Man" exemplifies the artist's skill in the genre and contributes to our understanding of portraiture during the Baroque period. The painting is a valuable cultural artifact that offers insight into the social and artistic conventions of 17th-century Spain.
