Procurator of San Marco is a 1603 oil by Girolamo da Ponte, depicting Ferrara, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This portrait depicts a man in a red robe with white fur trim, standing in front of a stone column and a landscape painting. He has dark hair and is looking to his left. His right hand rests on a table covered with a patterned cloth, while his left hand holds a small object. The man's attire and the setting suggest a formal or official context, possibly related to his role as a procurator. The painting's use of color and composition draws attention to the subject's dignified presence.
