Painting Information
This first "modern" painting of Spanish art is also Velázquez's last masterpiece. With it, the master returns to the favourite theme of his adolescent years, the image of the Spanish people. But how great is the difference between the comparatively more scarce figures of his youthful canvases and the exquisite unity of his last work! The painting depicts the interior of a manufactory. In the foreground are the impoverished women, the real protagonists. Through the casualness of the movements and the truthful depiction of the tools of labour, the artist recreates the actual atmosphere of the workshop. The woman in a blue dress, her back turned to the viewer, is perhaps the most exquisitely painted figure in all of Velázquez's work. In the painting's light-drenched background, a group of noble visitors examine a finished guber depicting a mythological scene.
