• Resumen

  • The article discusses Spanish painter Diego Velázquez's 1640s portrait paintings "Portrait of Philip IV" and one depicting the dwarf El Primo. The author focuses on the technical study of "Portrait of Philip IV" at the Frick Collection in New York City, including x-radiography and information about the canvas thread count, and discusses Velázquez's painting activity in Fraga, Spain, focusing on confusion about Velázquez's portraits of the dwarfs "El Primo" and "Don Diego de Acedo."
