Portrait of a Procurator of St Mark's, Venice is a 1900 oil by Unknown, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Man, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a man with a long white beard, wearing a red robe with a white fur trim. He is holding a piece of paper in his right hand. The background is dark, which makes the man stand out. The man's robe is intricately designed, with a pattern of circles and lines. His face is serious, with a slight furrow between his eyebrows. He is looking straight ahead, as if posing for the painting. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark, adds depth to the painting. The artist's use of impasto, a thick application of paint, gives the robe a textured look. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
