The picture shows a historical scene where a group of armed men in period costumes hold spears pointing upwards. The men have different expressions and are dressed in Renaissance style, suggesting that this is a painting from the Renaissance period. They appear to be ready for battle or part of some sort of ceremonial or military gathering. The spears are shown as very long and form an ascending graphic element in the painting. The background is less detailed and indistinct.

Diego Velázquez (1599-1660). Spanish Baroque painter, whose work significantly influenced the history of art. He painted mainly still lifes with figures, portraits and religious motifs. He used colour in an unusual breadth, carefully selected supporting characters in his paintings and no less carefully painted the details of interiors. An important element of his work is the atmosphere of his paintings. He painted realistically and without an idealist perversion of reality.
