My kids and I are studying Velazquez this term and really enjoying his work! However, we have a mystery on our hands and while this may not be the best place to ask, I have no idea where to turn. Google has failed me. Here goes: two of his paintings have what appears to be a piece of paper in them. The Surrender of Breda shows a piece of paper in the bottom right hand corner of the painting, while Portrait of Philip IV shows a piece of paper in the bottom left hand corner. Both are folded into half and half again and resting on a rock. We would be thrilled if someone could help us. The kids nag me every. single. day. 🙂
We studied Velazquez last year and noticed the same thing! I too Googled and thought surely there was some great insight and explanation as to the mysterious pieces of paper, which seem to be out of place.
As soon as I began to read your post I knew it was about the folded papers, which my then DS6 thought were diapers on the ground! lol
We too would love to know, even though it has been over a year, we need the mystery solved!
