The Music Lesson

A charming picture depicting a young boy singing at a concert, the painting is now considered a product of Titian and his workshop, rather than the master outright. The composition owes much to the older Venetian artist Giorgione, from whom Titian took inspiration. It came to England from the Mantua sale.
