This is an original 1939 tipped-in color print of Bordone's
The Venetian Lovers. An unusual aspect of this famous painting is the mysterious third person hovering over the woman's shoulder... Who is he and what is he doing intruding on such an intimate moment? Some suggest that given his beret, he might actually be the artist himself.
