Portrait of a Young Nobleman (Spanish - Retrato de caballero joven) is a 1600-1605 oil on canvas portrait by El Greco, originally in the quinta del Duque del Arco at the Royal Palace of El Pardo in Madrid but now in the Museo del Prado. It was long thought to show the poet Baltasar Elisio de Medinilla, but this has been disproved and its subject is now unknown. It shows the influence of portraits by Titian and Tintoretto, who he had got to know whilst in Venice.
