"There could be no question of reward between us thou being royal Lady of our Casa Cornaro, and I sworn to thy faithful service my cousin and Queen.

He "fell violently in love with the picture," so the story goes, and expressed to Andrea Cornaro his desire to see and know the original. "That face seemeth strangely familiar, Messer Cornaro," he said. He held the portrait in his hands, and seemed struggling with an uncertain memory. Suddenly his face lighted up, and he exclaimed joyfully: "So; I have it! Messer Cornaro, I know your niece."
