Francisco de Almeida is a 1555 unspecified by Unknown, a mannerism work, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
The painting depicts a man dressed in a black and gold robe, holding a stick in his right hand. He wears a black hat and has a long white beard. The background is red with a pattern of leaves. The man's attire suggests he may be a figure of importance, possibly a noble or a religious leader. The stick he holds could be a symbol of his authority or a tool for his profession.
