"Portrait of a Man" is a notable artwork from the 1510s attributed to Michel Sittow, an esteemed painter from the Northern Renaissance, particularly known for his exquisite and detailed portraiture. Sittow, born in Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia), was a highly sought-after court artist who worked across Europe, including in the Netherlands, Spain, and for the Habsburgs. This painting is a testament to his skill in capturing the nuanced expressions and individuality of his sitters.

The "Portrait of a Man" is a small oil painting on wood panel, measuring approximately 41 cm by 31 cm. It depicts an unidentified male subject, whose identity has been the subject of much speculation but remains unknown. The sitter is portrayed from the waist up, turned slightly to the left, gazing directly at the viewer with a calm and introspective expression. He is dressed in the fashion of the early 16th century, with a dark garment and a black hat, which contrasts with the lighter background, drawing attention to his face and the meticulous rendering of his features.

Sittow's mastery is evident in the lifelike representation of the man's complexion, the texture of his clothing, and the subtle play of light and shadow. The background is subdued, with a greenish-gray tone that enhances the figure's presence without detracting from it. The painting's provenance and the exact date of its creation are not fully documented, but it is generally dated to the 1510s based on stylistic analysis and comparison with Sittow's other works.

"Portrait of a Man" is an important piece within Sittow's oeuvre and is representative of the Northern Renaissance's focus on individualism and the emerging genre of portraiture. The work is held in high regard for its technical brilliance and the psychological depth it conveys. It is currently housed in the collection of the Art Museum of Estonia, in Tallinn, allowing for the public to appreciate one of the few surviving works by this influential artist. The painting continues to be a subject of art historical interest and research, contributing to the understanding of portraiture during the time of its creation.
