La Schiavona ('the woman from Dalmatia') is a 1510–1512 oil-on-canvas portrait of an unknown woman. At first attributed to Giorgione, it is now accepted as a work by the young Titian, as attested by the "T. V." (Tiziano Vecellio) inscribed on the parapet. The subject was probably a member of the nobility of the Republic of Venice. The raised portion of the parapet, with its cameo-like relief, was probably added in a later revision of the painting, the woman's drapes still being visible through subsequent layers of paint. The painting is now in the collection of the National Gallery in London.Painting credit: Titian
