Portrait of a Man (Titian, Indianapolis)
Portrait of a Man is a c.1515 male oil on canvas portrait by Titian, now in the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
It may have been the painting seen by Carlo Ridolfi in Nicolas Régnier's house around 1648. It has traditionally been known as Portrait of Ariosto due to its similarity to A Man with a Quilted Sleeve, another Titian work previously thought to depict Ariosto, and to a print of Ariosto in the 1532 edition of Orlando Furioso.
Its status as an autograph work by the artist is supported by Bernard Berenson. Auctioned at Sotheby's in London on 29 January 1929, it passed to the Booth Tarkington collection in Indianapolis.
