Portrait of a Gentleman with a Letter is a 1535–1540 painting by Moretto da Brescia, now in the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia, to which it was given in 1854.[1] No record of it before that dates survives, though some art historians have identified it with a lost Portrait of Pietro Aretino recorded in correspondence.[2]
