— OUEEN MARIANA r IDelasques 193 * Queen Mariana ' at the Prado, with a pink curtain which was painted after his return, and parts of which are also drastically revised. The early hunting portraits may have then come in for some repainting; the touch in parts seems more rapid than the period of their painting would quite warrant. We feel with Velasquez, as he grows older, an ever-increasing wish to will his ; paint upon the canvas with less process and less ' machinery, if I may use the word. I...n the ' Queen Mariana, ' the new consort of the King, and in the exquisite children at Vienna, we note the high- water mark of his practice in direct, yet exqui- sitely modulated use of his pigment. In the ' Anchorites ' and the im finished ' Don Juan de Austria, ' we admire the utmost effect, produced with the most rapid and varied han- dling; the other late works of the painter, the ' Montanes, ' the ' ^sop, ' the ' Meninas, ' show even greater breadth, greater decision, but perhaps | less subtlety; the painter dallies less with the / beauties of his medium, in a greater effort at / that unity which he now seems to foresee from the first.
