From Museo del Prado, Madrid:
The Virgin and Child with Saint Dorothy and Saint George was the earliest work by Titian owned by Philip II, who had it sent to the Escorial. It is not known how the monarch acquired it, but at the end of Titian´s life, when the decline in his artistic powers was evident, certain clients began to take an interest in his early works. This was the case with the Marquis of Ayamonte, Governor of Milan between 1573 and 1580, and his example was probably also followed by other members of the Spanish court. The painting entered the Museo del Prado in 1839 (Text drawn from Falomir, M.: Tiziano, Museo Nacional del Prado, 2003, p. 356).
