Diego Velázquez Spanish, 1599 – 1660

The Lunch, c. 1617

Your taste…

Three men share a plain meal of bread, pomegranates and wine at a table spread with a creased white cloth. An old man sits at left, a young man grins at right, and a boy behind them pours the wine. It is one of Velázquez's earliest known paintings, made in Seville around the age of eighteen, and he painted a near-identical version, The Farmers' Lunch.

Look closer

The young man at right raises his thumb. On the wall behind hang a white collar, a leather bag and a sword.
