'''Las Meninas (detail-3)''' is a fragment of the larger masterpiece "Las Meninas" painted by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez between 1656 and 1657. This particular detail, like the rest of the painting, is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, and is one of the most analyzed and celebrated works in Western art history. The painting as a whole depicts a complex scene in the Alcázar palace of King Philip IV of Spain, showing the young Infanta Margaret Theresa surrounded by her entourage of maids of honor, chaperone, bodyguard, two dwarfs, and a dog.

The detail in question, often scrutinized for its intricate portrayal and depth of composition, captures a specific portion of this scene, focusing on a subset of the figures and possibly highlighting the virtuosity of Velázquez's technique. The artist's use of light and shadow, perspective, and composition within this detail exemplifies his skill in creating a sense of realism and spatial ambiguity. Velázquez's own presence in the painting, as he stands before a large canvas, adds another layer of complexity, blurring the lines between reality and representation.

"Las Meninas" as a whole is renowned for its enigmatic quality, with scholars debating various interpretations of the scene and the significance of its characters. The painting is often lauded for its meta-theatrical quality, as it appears to capture a moment of interruption, possibly as the king and queen enter the room, which is suggested by their reflection in the mirror at the back of the room. The detail in question contributes to this narrative and the overall sense of immediacy and intimacy that pervades the work.

Velázquez's "Las Meninas" has been influential in the history of art, inspiring countless artists and theorists. The painting has been dissected for its narrative content, formal qualities, and its philosophical implications regarding the nature of reality and illusion. As such, the detail of "Las Meninas" is not only a critical piece of the painting's composition but also a testament to Velázquez's enduring legacy as a pivotal figure in the canon of Western art.
