Titian's Mistress, also known as An Unknown Lady, is an oil painting variously attributed to Titian, his workshop, or both. It was painted in about 1550 or 1560.^[1][2] The painting is part of the Wellington Collection at Apsley House in London.^[1][2]

Prints

There is a print by Lucas Vorsterman II, dated 1640–1666, after the painting by Titian in Apsley House. A painted copy of the Titian is mentioned in Rubens' house inventory of 1640, and may be the source of the print. A print by Sir Anthony van Dyck, also entitled Titian's Mistress, is unrelated to the paintings.^[3]
