Prints
editThere 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]
