Testo sintetico e divulgativo, fornisce rapidi flash sull'opera di Diego Velázquez, in maniera forse troppo compartimentata. Il libro ha il pregio di non dare per scontato il background storico e culturale in cui si trovò a lavorare l'Artista, permettendo così una veloce lettura di ciò che lo ispirò, in modo diretto e indiretto, e spiegando in quale condizione sociale prese determinate decisioni (p. es., il focus sulla vita d'artista nel secolo d'oro sottolinea l'intricato rapporto con la committenza).
