Plate 4 Left - Diego Velásquez. Spanish. Queen Mariana. 1599-1660. Museo del<br />
Prado. Right - Edgar Degas. French. Mme Edmondo Morbilli, nee Therese De<br />
Gas. 1869, drawing - pastel, private collection.<br />
A movement circles from the Queen's left h<strong>and</strong> over the red tablecloth to<br />
the dark background, returning over her right h<strong>and</strong> to the embroidery on the<br />
front of her dress.<br />
The feathers, the Queen's hair, face, neck, <strong>and</strong> her collar are precisely<br />
located in depth. In contrast, there is a greater separation in depth between her<br />
face <strong>and</strong> her lower h<strong>and</strong>. A triangle formed by the red ribbons on her wrists <strong>and</strong><br />
hair tilts backwards into depth. Just in front of the apex of the triangle is the red<br />
of her cheeks.<br />
