Description

A royal chamber unfolds like a living mirror, where Infanta Margarita glows at the center of layered gazes. Velázquez paints himself into the scene, blurring the line between creator and creation. The reflected king and queen haunt the background, suggesting presence through absence, power through perception. This masterpiece is a ritual of illusion—where every glance, gesture, and shadow becomes part of the viewer’s own reflection.
