It was interesting to see that Velazquez painting of King Philip of Spain. A head and shoulders of that same pose is currently on display in the Seattle Art Museum.

Velazquez painted a great many portraits of King Philip, all of which have virtually the same face and lighting. Apparently the one now hanging in Seattle is the only one the king actually sat for.

Velazquez kept the head and shoulders portrait which he did from life in his own studio and used it as reference for all the other King Philip portraits he painted later, including the one now in Sarasota.

Guess that's one way to get things done, in the era way before Nikon D70's!
