Three human heads, old, mature and young, look left, forward and right above the heads of a wolf, a lion and a dog. The image joins the three ages of man to past, present and future. The faces have been identified as Titian, his son Orazio and his nephew Marco, though scholars dispute this, and Titian's workshop may have helped.
Look closer
A faint Latin inscription above the heads says, in short: from the past, the present acts prudently, lest it spoil future action.
