Spanish Interior Scene - "The Party"

In a traditional style, this painting depicts an interior scene giving an insight into old Spanish life. With many figures dressed in the traditional luxurious attire for royalty or noblemen, there is a level of juxtaposition with the space which seems somewhat cluttered and gloomy. This piece is filled with intriguing details which help us to unpick the mystery of what may be happening in this unusual scene. Painted delicately on a small scale, this fascinating little piece is complemented by an ornate frame.
