"Portrait of a Magistrate" is a 16th-century artwork by Italian Renaissance painter, Giovanni Antonio Boltraff (1467–1516). Known for his study under Leonardo da Vinci, Boltraffio's style noticeably takes inspiration from Da Vinci's high attention to detail and atmospheric illusionism, predominantly using chiaroscuro.

The artwork's subject is an unidentified magistrate, portrayed working his official duty, pencil and paper in hand. Symbolism in the painting includes the judicial robe and chain of office, which are both indicative of his status and role in society.

Boltraffio’s technique gives the painting an atmospheric quality, with standout details appearing in the material of the robe, depth in the man’s face, and the reality of the hand holding the pen. The comprehensive level of detailing is an excellent representative of Boltraffio’s sophisticated style and skill set, making "Portrait of a Magistrate" a renowned piece in his oeuvre.

The painting currently resides in the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology in Oxford, England, where researchers continue to authenticate, study and interpret the work. Despite the elusiveness of the sitter's identity, "Portrait of a Magistrate" remains an excellent example of Boltraffio's ability to encapsulate an individual's distinguished persona and authority in Renaissance Italy.
