"Portrait of a Nobleman, Three-quarter Length Standing, Wearing a Ruff and a Hat, and Holding Gloves" is a notable work by the Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola, who is recognized as one of the first internationally acclaimed female artists. This portrait exemplifies Anguissola's skill in capturing the elegance and dignity of her subjects, a talent that garnered her significant acclaim during her lifetime and a place in art history as a pioneering woman artist.

The painting depicts an unidentified nobleman, portrayed in a three-quarter length pose, a common format for portraiture of the time that allowed the artist to showcase the subject's attire and social status. The nobleman is dressed in the fashion of the late 16th century, his attire marked by a lavish ruff—a starched, pleated collar—and a hat, both indicative of his high social standing. In his hand, he holds a pair of gloves, a further symbol of refinement and status.

Anguissola's work is characterized by her nuanced approach to portraiture, which often involved a deep psychological insight into her subjects. Her portraits are celebrated for their lifelike quality and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which she used to great effect to model the forms and convey the textures of fabrics and materials.

The exact date of this painting is unknown, but it is believed to have been created during Anguissola's time at the Spanish court, where she served as a court painter to King Philip II and as a lady-in-waiting and art tutor to Queen Elisabeth of Valois. The artist's time at the Spanish court significantly influenced her work, as she had the opportunity to paint portraits of nobility and royalty, which helped to solidify her reputation as a master portraitist.

"Portrait of a Nobleman" is a testament to Anguissola's mastery of portraiture and her ability to convey the social stature and individual personality of her sitters. The painting is an important piece within Anguissola's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the role and recognition of female artists during the Renaissance. It remains a significant work for the study of gender and art history, as well as for the appreciation of Renaissance portraiture.
