COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Seventeenth-century Spanish horses, bred from crosses with Arab stallions, were famous for their proud bearing and temperamental beauty. Velázquez had the opportunity of observing them daily in the royal stables or when the king put them through their paces.
