Titian to Fetch £5 million

A little-known work by Titian is expected to fetch more than £5m when it is auctioned in December. The painting - Portrait of a Lady and her Daughter - probably dates from the 1550s but was painted over in the late 16th or early 17th Century. It was only recently revealed after nearly 20 years of careful restoration. Thought to depict his daughter Emilia with one of his granddaughters, the uncompleted portrait is the only known work by Titian to show a mother and daughter.
