"Portrait of a Man with an Arrow" is a notable work by the German-born Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling, created between 1478 and 1480. This painting is an example of Memling's skill in portraiture, a genre in which he was particularly esteemed during the Northern Renaissance. The artwork is a bust-length depiction of an unidentified man, who is traditionally shown holding an arrow, a detail that has led to various interpretations regarding its symbolism.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a medium that allowed Memling to achieve fine detail and subtle gradations of color, which were characteristic of his work. The subject is portrayed against a dark, neutral background that serves to highlight the figure's contemplative expression and the meticulous rendering of his features and attire. The man's gaze is directed slightly off-center, engaging the viewer with a sense of immediacy and presence.

The arrow held by the subject has been the subject of much scholarly debate, with interpretations ranging from it being a symbol of martyrdom or love to a possible indication of the sitter's profession or personal emblem. The precise, lifelike representation of the arrow, as well as the man's hands and clothing, showcase Memling's attention to detail and his ability to convey texture and material quality.

"Portrait of a Man with an Arrow" is representative of Memling's portraiture style, which combined the realistic observation of the sitter with an idealized elegance, a hallmark of the artist's approach to capturing the human likeness. The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and for providing insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the late 15th century in the Burgundian Netherlands.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance. The work is frequently included in discussions of Memling's oeuvre and the broader context of Northern Renaissance art.
