Spanish school; XIX century. "Velazquez characters". Oil on canvas. It has a frame of the seventeenth century. Measurements: 41 x 55 cm; 70 x 60 cm (frame). In the portraits of each one of the characters that compose this image we can observe the line of the Spanish baroque in the custom of representing popular types typical of Velázquez's painting. The artist offers us a work worked with delicacy, with special emphasis on the chivalrous character of the protagonists. In this work we see a scene inspired by the costumbrismo of the XVII century, worked with a realistic language where the composition stands out, balanced and well settled. This composition and the theme treated by the author, typical of the scenes of the reality of the Spain of the Golden Century and the picaresque literature of the time, bring the piece closer to the naturalist current. It is a genre in which popular types and attitudes, behaviors, values and habits common to a specific group of the population, region or class are described through the description, satirical, nostalgic or narrative, of the environments, customs, clothing, parties and entertainment, traditions, trades and representative types of a society. The idea of costumbrismo arose from an attempt to understand reality, or more precisely, reality understood in a particular way, from a specific point of view.
