| Velazquez: Las Meniņas, originally called The Family of Philip IV, 1656 | |
| This Week in Core | The
Princess
Margarita,
surrounded by maids of honor, entertains the King and Queen, as they
pose
for a portrait by Velazquez. You can see the artist as he pauses
with brush
in hand. Can you see the King and Queen reflected in the mirror?
Imagine
that you are posing for your portrait, while the artist looks up from
his
canvas to gaze at you.
