"Portrait of a Man with a Pen" is a painting by the Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera, created in the early 17th century. Ribera, known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and realistic depictions, was a prominent figure of the Spanish Baroque period. Although the exact date of the painting is not definitively known, it is believed to have been completed during Ribera's mature period when he was active in Naples.

The painting features a male figure, traditionally interpreted as a scholar or philosopher, holding a pen. The subject's intense gaze and the detailed rendering of his facial features reflect Ribera's skill in capturing human emotion and character. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the textures of the man's skin and clothing, a testament to Ribera's mastery of chiaroscuro.

Ribera's work often focused on themes of human suffering and the complexities of the human condition, and this portrait is no exception. The contemplative expression of the man suggests introspection and intellectual engagement, common themes in Ribera's oeuvre. The background is typically dark, a characteristic feature of Ribera's style, which serves to emphasize the figure and create a sense of depth.

The identity of the sitter remains unknown, adding an element of mystery to the painting. Some art historians speculate that the portrait could be a depiction of a contemporary intellectual or a more generalized representation of scholarly pursuits during the Baroque era.

"Portrait of a Man with a Pen" is housed in a private collection, limiting public access but contributing to its intrigue and allure. The painting exemplifies Ribera's ability to blend realism with psychological depth, making it a significant work within his artistic legacy. Ribera's influence extends beyond his lifetime, impacting both Spanish and Italian art, and this portrait remains a testament to his enduring skill and vision.
