From Royal Collection Trust, Windsor Castle:
The composition and enigmatic subject matter of this painting suggest the early interests of Titian when he was influenced by Giorgione. The woman has either fainted and is held by a man feeling her heart (in the nineteenth-century the painting was called ‘a sick Lady, her Husband and a physician’), or she is resting against her lover in ecstasy. It is probably a scene from Renaissance literature.
