''Prince Balthasar Charles With a Dwarf'' is a 1631 portrait by Diego Velázquez of Balthasar Charles, Prince of Asturias and a court dwarf. It is now in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The prince is shown in the uniform of a captain-general (adapted to his infant state but still including a commander's baton in his right hand, a shoulder sash and a sword hilt in his left hand). The dwarf holds an apple and a rattle, to contrast with the heir to the most powerful monarchy in Europe, who is shown as already in military training and not needing these usual children's attributes. The prince's static posture, in contrast to the dynamism of the dwarf's figure, turning to contemplate the prince, has caused some art historians to think that the painting was originally only of the prince, with the dwarf added later. == External links == * (Portal Artehistoria ) Información del cuadro * (【引用サイトリンク】 work=Museum of Fine Arts, Boston ) *(''Velázquez '' ), exhibition catalog from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (fully available online as PDF), which contains material on this painting (see index) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prince Balthasar Charles with a Dwarf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
