A haunting Baroque scene in a dim, dust-filled palace chamber where the pallid undead Infanta stands regally amid her decaying maids of honour, skeletal dwarfs and rotting attendants with a mangy corpse-dog at her feet, while the ghostly skeletal painter works on a vast canvas and a mirror faintly reflects the spectral forms of the king and queen, rendered with Velázquez’s signature dramatic lighting and masterful spatial depth in somber, necrotic tones.
