Portrait of Count Antonio Porcia and Brugnera (Italian: Ritratto del conte Antonio di Porcia e Brugnera) is an oil painting by Titian, dated to between 1535 and 1540, which hangs in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
A half-length figure in black, the face turned forwards, an energetic head in repose; across the breast is a broad gold chain with an ornament hanging from it; in the somewhat sombre lower portion of the picture there is the shining knob of the sword and the spot of white in the cuff.[1] His aristocratic left-hand rests idly on the balustrade.[2] In the far distance, a last gleam of light still illumines for a moment a broad fall of water.[3] The work is signed "Titianus" on the window ledge.[4]
According to Gronau, in style the picture has so much affinity with works of about 1540 to 1543 that it must be assigned to that date.[5] The Brera dates it slightly earlier, between 1535 and 1540.[6]
