"A Portrait of Giancarlo de' Medici, Head and Shoulders, Wearing a Black Coat, a White Ruff, and the White Cross of the Order of Malta" is a notable work by Flemish painter Justus Sustermans (also known as Giusto Sustermans). Created in the 17th century, this portrait is a testament to Sustermans' skill as a court painter and his role in documenting the visages of the Medici family, who were the ruling dynasty in Florence and Tuscany during that era.

The painting depicts Giancarlo de' Medici (1611–1663), the youngest son of Cosimo II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and his wife Maria Maddalena of Austria. Giancarlo was not destined to rule, as he was the younger brother of Ferdinando II de' Medici, but he was a significant figure in the ecclesiastical and cultural life of the time. He became a cardinal in 1644, and his portrait reflects his status within the Catholic Church and the Order of Malta, an order of chivalry.

Sustermans' portrait is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the textures of Giancarlo's black coat, the intricate white ruff, and the emblematic white cross symbolizing his affiliation with the Order of Malta. The painting captures the solemnity and dignity of its subject, consistent with the portraiture style of the Baroque period, which sought to convey the power and prestige of its sitters.

The artwork serves as an important historical record, providing insight into the fashion and iconography of the time, as well as the political and religious affiliations of the Medici family. It is a prime example of Sustermans' mastery in portraiture and his contribution to the visual legacy of one of the most influential families in European history. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is considered an important piece within the oeuvre of Justus Sustermans.
