The Nobleman with his Hand on his Chest (also known as The Gentleman with His Hand at His Breast[1] or Gentleman with his Hand on his Chest; Spanish - El caballero de la mano en el pecho)[2] is an oil painting by El Greco.

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]
