♦️Old Woman Frying Eggs♦️⠀ ⠀ 👨‍🎨By: Diego Velázquez⠀ ⠀

 📚Velázquez was eighteen or nineteen when he painted this remarkable #painting . It clearly demonstrates his flair for painting people and everyday objects directly from life.⠀ The #realism is nearly photographic and shows everyday plates, cutlery, pans, pestles, jugs and mortars, capturing the special shine on a glass surface and the light's play on the melon carried by the boy. The boiling pan is particularly well-captured, with its reflections and the whites of the #eggs . Velázquez also worked particularly hard on the detail of the two figures's hands.

Incredible attention to detail and realism in this painting by Diego Velázquez! The way he captures everyday objects and the play of light is truly remarkable. A masterful depiction of a simple, yet captivating moment in time.
