According to an art expert the painting is very likely the original Domitian and not a copy.
This finding is of great importance as it shows that the painting was most likely directly connected to Titian’s original series in Mantua in the late 1530s.
Other comments from the art expert: ”There are no indications in the original paint layer that the painting is a copy. On the contrary, several pentimenti appear that clearly testify to a creative process, something that is normally missing in copies.”
