Two Ladies

Vittore Carpaccio

Correr Museum

DESCRIZIONE:
The painting, among the best-known and most celebrated of Carpaccio, has often been identified as the portrait of two courtesans. Actually, it depicts two venetian ladies, perhaps of the Preli family (their stem is on the vase), waiting for the return of their husbands from the hunt who were originally depicted in the upper part of the painting, today at the Getty Museum of Malibù.
