From first glance of the Las Meninas painting‚ my eyes go to the center‚ down front‚ where a princess is being offered a drink and gives off an air of not being interested. Not too near to her‚ almost at the margin of the picture‚ a woman dwarf‚ and a boy bothers a tired dog‚ which disregards the torments.
