Year	c. 1580
Medium	Oil on canvas
Dimensions	81.8 cm × 65.8 cm (32.2 in × 25.9 in)

Painted in Toledo around 1580, and on display at the Museo del Prado,[3] it is the most famous of a series of secular portraits of unknown gentlemen, all of them dressed in black and wearing white ruffs, against dark backgrounds.[1]

Some authors suggest it may be a portrait of Juan de Silva y Ribera, 3rd Marquis of Montemayor and warden of the Alcazar of Toledo.[3] The artist Rupert Shrive and the historian Alex Burghart have also argued that it may be a self-portrait.[4] A number of observations also point to Miguel de Cervantes as the subject, including the coincidence of Cervantes' age and the date of the portrait, the fact that the subject's left hand is concealed and that Cervantes had lost his arm fighting in the Battle of Lepanto,[5] as well as the resemblance to the unconfirmed portrait of Cervantes supposedly painted by Juan de Jáuregui.
