Lot Essay

After the picture in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. Formerly regarded as an autograph work by Titian, most scholars now regard that work as by one of the artist's contemporaries; the very close similarity of the Vienna putto to that in the altarpiece by Francesco Vecellio (1475-1559/60) in the church of San Rocco, Domegge, suggest that it may reasonably be attributed to the latter hand.
