"Portrait of Ferdinando" is an oil painting by Marcus the Younger Gheeraerts, a renowned 16th and 17th-century Flemish portrait print artist. The artwork notably captures Ferdinando Stanley, 5th Earl of Derby, an influential figure of the Elizabethan era known for his role in literature and patronage of the arts.

Gheeraerts manipulated light and shade to provide a realistic representation of the sitter, emphasizing Ferdinando's noble status through the intricate details of his attire and the background setting. This technique of detailed portrayal was emblematic of Gheeraerts' style, standing testament to his masterful artistry and contributing to painting's representation as a snapshot of its historical period.

The exact date of creation of the "Portrait of Ferdinando" remains unknown, reflecting a common issue for many works from this period due to the lack of comprehensive records. However, art historians typically date it around the late 16th to early 17th century. The current location of the painting is also unspecified due to scant historical documentation about its ownership and display over the centuries. The artwork's importance is reinforced by the limited number of surviving portraits of Ferdinando Stanley, making it a valuable source for scholars of Elizabethan England'svisual culture.

The "Portrait of Ferdinando" celebrates not only an individual of historical import but also the artistic talent of Gheeraerts. It stands as a significant artwork in studying the development of portraiture during the transition from the artistic traditions of the Renaissance to the Realism of the Baroque period.
