Velazquez studies by Sargent and Sorolla

in

Both Sargent and Sorolla were fascinated by the work of Velazquez, they each did a study of his Legend of Arachne / The spinners. It’s fascinating to see how they both handled the copy differently, I sadly couldn’t find any decent picture of the Sargent study, so please excuse the pixels!
