Interpretation

I'm not sure how the author infers from a painting, all I got was this was a rather well off dwarf. Hhe looks pretty well dressed for 1645. Sure dwarfs no doubt had a bad time, but well i would bet you this one was better off than common folk. DarkShroom (talk) 21:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Portrait of Sebastián de Morra is an oil painting on canvas completed by the Spanish artist Diego Velázquez in c. 1645. It depicts Sebastián de Morra, a dwarf and court jester for Philip IV of Spain. He is shown sitting on the ground with his legs positioned inelegantly, which has been read as a denunciation of the court's treatment of him. The painting is now held at the Museo del Prado in Madrid.Painting: Diego Velázquez
