_J. B. Martinez del Mazo_ (Spanish: 1610-1687).
Juan Bautista Martinez del Mazo, the favourite pupil and the
son-in-law of Velazquez, whom he succeeded in 1661 as painter
to the Spanish Court. In portraiture Mazo was an imitator
of the great master; he also painted hunting pieces and
landscapes. His view of Zaragoza, now in the Madrid Gallery, is
celebrated.
A very short thick-set figure; possibly a portrait of one of Philip
IV.'s court dwarfs.
