Portrait of Richard Milles is a 1760s oil on canvas portrait painting by Pompeo Batoni, now in the National Gallery, London. Its subject is the English nobleman Richard Milles, who probably had it produced during a visit to Rome on his Grand Tour. He points to the Canton of Grisons in Switzerland on a map, with a bust of Marcus Aurelius in the background. Batoni also produced a miniature head of Milles, now in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.[1]
