Portrait of a Gentleman is a 1513 oil on wood panel by Altobello Melone.

[2] It is one of the most famous paintings from the collection of Count Guglielmo Lochis, where for it was thought to be a portrait of Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI.

[3] The attribution to Altobello Melone was first made in 1871.

[4] It was confirmed in 1955 by Mina Gregori, who compared the portrait in eccentric style to Melone's The road to Emmaus.

[5] Some three hundred years after the portrait was painted, the Borgia family ordered a copy from Pelagio Palagi, and the copy was discussed at some length by Antoine-Claude Pasquin.
