In former times the knight rides a real horse and helds a gun straight forward. Nowadays the young lady is sitting on a merry-go-round horse, helds up her smartphone and taking a selfie with the knight as background. To her friends is seems as she is part of the painting, she feels very smart. Great idea! Regards Anne

Velasquez's canvas is a portrait of the Count-Duke of Olivares, it is an honorary, somewhat pompous painting of the nobleman in armor and brandishing his marshal's staff in the direction of the battlefield. The female counterpart is there to defuse the machismo of the warrior portrait through humor and derision of the opposite. the shaft of the merry-go-round overshadows the hieratic attitude of the man, the stripes of the women's underwear echo the joints of the armor, while I thought that the colors of the horse of the merry-go-round could evoke a variation of the LGBT flag. This woman, museum staff takes her round of the merry-go-round to rewrite history.

A lively and dynamic scene that works on so many levels; in this case the carousel horse takes on an artistic value in itself, as if a Jeff Koons sculpture or the like. The young lady (who from the badge seems to be gallery staff) is taking liberties while the museum is closed.... The chevalier disapproves (though across the room Frans Hal's cavalier is laughing!)

Thanks a lot Joe. Jeff Koons, why not? I admit that I hardly taste his taste for kitsch and the idea that his approach resembles that of a business. For once you got it wrong, the portrait is not by Frans Hals, but by Vélasquez. It doesn't matter, I really like Franz Hals. As for the Count's expression, behind his mustache, I imagined him rather offended, as on the painting his expression is quite neutral, I literally forced the line by crossing out his face with the vertical shadow of the merry-go-round.
