Landscape with a Goat 1500-1511 Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) Italian Drawings by Titian are exceedingly rare, and this splendid study is one of the very few sheets that can plausibly be attributed to him. Although it has been trimmed (the fragment at the upper left has been interpreted in various ways but surely represents the lower half of the head of a bearded man), the sketch is a fine example of Titian's powerful and evocative drawing style. The poetic treatment of the landscape reflects the influence of Giorgione; the sheet may therefore date from relatively early in the artist's career, perhaps about 1511.Acquired by the Museum in 1991, the present sketch is a fairly recent discovery and constitutes an important addition to the small corpus of the artist's known drawings. The sheet is close in style to several others that may be among Titians earliest extant works: a "Landscape with a Goat" in the Musée du Louvre (Départment des Arts Graphiques, inv. no. 5539) and a sketch in the G
