This painting is called The Maids of Honor and was painted by Diego Velazquez. It was painted in 1656 and was 10ft 5in x 9ft 1in making the painting life sized. the portrait gives a peek at royal life behind the scenes. At first glance it may seem that the little girl in the middle is the center of attention, but both she and others around her are gazing out of the picture at something. I believe the answer is on the back wall mirror. In the mirror is a picture of the King and the Queen.
