Portrait of an unknown Man in landscape is a 1490 oil by Hans Memling, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Uffizi Gallery.
This painting shows a man with dark, curly hair and a serious expression. He is wearing a black coat with a fur-trimmed collar and cuffs, and a ring on his left hand. The background is a landscape with trees and a blue sky. The man's face is the main focus of the painting, and his expression is calm and introspective. The artist has used oil paint to create a detailed and realistic portrait. The painting is a great example of the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression.
