Tribute to Diego Velazquez

Las Meninas (Spanish for The Maids of Honour) is a painting by Diego Velázquez, the leading artist of the Spanish Golden Age. The work’s complex and enigmatic composition raises questions about reality and illusion, and creates an uncertain relationship between the viewer and the figures depicted.

    Wow, so creative. I think Velazquez would have appreciated it. And your sweet girl is much sweeter than the real princess in the painting.
