| This painting is one of Velazques early works, an old man selling water in the streets of Seville. The old man with his worn and wrinkly face and his ragged cloack, the big flask with its rounded shape, the surface of the glazed jug and the play of light on the transparent glass, all this is painted so convincingly that we feel we could touch the objects. |
