In this compositional sketch for Rosales’ famous painting of the same name (P004625), the main figures already occupy their final positions. The definition of the setting is intriguing: in the back-ground on the right, which is developed here, we can see through to the rooms adjoining the queen’s chamber, in a clear allusion to Velázquez’s Las Meninas.
