Copy after the so-called Don Antonio, "El Ingles" (Dwarf with a Dog) is a painting by John Singer Sargent, believed to be a study or reproduction of a work attributed to Diego Velázquez. Sargent, an American expatriate artist known for his portraits, often drew inspiration from the Old Masters, and Velázquez was one of his significant influences. This particular piece reflects Sargent's admiration for Velázquez's technique and subject matter.

The original painting by Velázquez, if it indeed existed, would have been part of his series of portraits depicting dwarfs and jesters at the Spanish court. These works are renowned for their empathetic portrayal of individuals who were often marginalized in society. Velázquez's ability to capture the dignity and personality of his subjects is evident in these portraits, and Sargent's copy seeks to emulate this quality.

Sargent's rendition, like many of his copies, was likely an exercise in understanding the technical mastery of Velázquez. By replicating the composition and style, Sargent could explore the use of light, shadow, and brushwork that characterized Velázquez's work. This practice was common among artists of Sargent's time, who sought to learn from the great masters by studying their works closely.

The painting features a dwarf, possibly named Don Antonio, accompanied by a dog, a common motif in Velázquez's portraits. The figure is depicted with a sense of realism and depth, showcasing Sargent's skill in capturing human expression and form. The use of color and texture in the painting reflects Sargent's ability to convey the richness and complexity of the original work.

While the exact details of the original Velázquez painting remain uncertain, Sargent's copy serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Velázquez on later generations of artists. It highlights the continued appreciation and reinterpretation of classical art through the eyes of modern painters like Sargent.
