The figures are well done and breathe vitality, but the essential mystery of this work lies outside such considerations” (Michener 407). The scene in Las Meninas is painted with the distinctive use of color and light. The painting is an oil on canvas painting completed in 1656.…

Why is there a mirror with the king and queen's…
