A painting within a painting is a painting painted in another painting. An early example is The Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his gallery in Brussels[1] by David Teniers the Younger, in which Teniers documented the archduke's collection of paintings in this work while he was court painter in Brussels.
In the back of The Music Lesson by Johannes Vermeer can be seen a painting of the Roman Charity, consistent with his habit of putting paintings within paintings.
In Magritte's The Human Condition, the cover-up appears in the form a painting within a painting.
