INFANTA MARGARITA

I am the Infanta Margarita, daughter of King Philip IV, surrounded by my little court, as well as the mastiff who is at ground level, Diego Velázquez, who painted himself hidden behind the canvas.

María Agustina Sarmiento, is my maid of honor. To my right Margarita on her knees offering red clay on a silver tray, Mariana of Austria the second wife of King Philip IV helps to complete the mirror, Philip IV who is in the reflection of the mirror in the background, Isabel de Velasco to my left, Marcela de Ulloa occupies the position of "minor guardian of ladies".

Oh! And Maribarbola is a German dwarf of the court jester group along with Nicolasito Pertusato bothering the mastiff with his foot.
