Portrait of a Nobleman with His Hand on His Chest (1583-85) is a oil on canvas painting by the Spanish Renaissance painter, sculptor and architect El Greco. In formal portraiture of the period, it is characteristic that the individuality of the sitter is subservient to the manifestation of virtue. El Greco's portrait of an unknown knight with his hand on his breast is an example. He is shown solemnly committing his whole being to a higher principle, for the gesture of placing the right hand on the heart signalled not only pious respect but also a declaration of intent that would be upheld as a matter of honour. The painting (81 x 66 cm) is in the collection of the Museo del Prado, Madrid.
