	LRB \| Nicholas Penny : At the Royal Scottish Academy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		In the room devoted to portraiture there is a painting of two patrician boys with dark eyes and earnest frowns which was sold from the Pesaro collection (where it was not highly valued) early in the 19th century.
		This picture was hung near Titian's Ranuccio Farnese in the Royal Academy's exhibition a dozen years ago and the claim that it was by Titian died on the lips of its admirers.
		It was once attributed to Guercino, which is understandable since the type of the bearded and turbaned king, his gentle solicitude, the discreet radiance and the soft glow on the faces are reminiscent of that artist's quieter late works.
