Portrait of a Man is a 1550 oil by Francesco Salviati, a Mannerism work, depicting Man, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting shows a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a black robe. He stands in front of a green curtain, with a red tablecloth-covered table to his left. On the table are two books, one red and one brown, tied with green ribbons. The man's right hand rests on the red book, while his left hand is relaxed by his side. The background is a plain brown wall. The artist who painted this portrait was Francesco Salviati.
Francesco Salviati or Francesco de' Rossi (1510 – 11 November 1563) was an Italian Mannerist painter who lived and worked in Florence, with periods in Bologna and Venice, ending with a long period in Rome, where he died.
