Don Diego

Dwarves and buffoons

and a sneaky insertion of the artist.

Why not? Am I not Don Diego,

official court painter?

I can paint an old woman

frying eggs

- and sell it too.

Kings and Princes

with kind flattery from the artist.

Why not? Are they not paying me?

Lantern-jawed Phillip

I can paint determined,

seeming great

- and sell that too.
