Les Meninas (The Maids of Honour - 1656)
No.221
The painting shows the Infanta Margarita, the daughter of the Spanish King and Queen, with her two maids of honour. A reflection of her parents is seen in the mirror behind her. On the right of the picture are two court dwarfs with a nun and a bodyguard standing behind them. At the left is Velazquez himself and a palace chamberlain is seen through the doorway at the back.
