A version of Rubens's Pallas and Arachne hangs to the left on the back wall. Two chandelier mounts can be seen on the ceiling, but the accompanying chandeliers are notably absent. In the bottom right corner of this painting, an Italian playfully steps on a sleeping mastiff attempting to wake him. One figure wears the bright red cross of the Order of St. James on his chest. As he is painting on a large canvas, he is taken to be the artist himself. The mirror in the back of the room reflects a king and queen. As the artist is standing behind the central figure, he is thought to be actually painting her parents, the aforementioned royal couple. FTP, identify this Diego Velazquez painting of the Infanta Margarita and the titular women surrounding her.
