Rousselet; Chaperon; Masson; Joh. de Marc.—C. & C., Titian, i. 283; Vasari, ed. Mil., vii. 458; Filhol, ix. Pl. 619; Mündler, 208; Landon, Musée, vii.

By Titian, Madrid Museum; canvas, H. 4 ft. 6 in. × 5 ft. 9 in.; signed. Theme some-*what different from the Louvre example, and less rich in tints and less engaging in form.

Placed in Royal Chapel at Aranjuez, and after Philip's death in the Escorial. Original sketch at Oxford University.
