About the piece

Painted around 1670, this masterpiece by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo captures a moment of playful curiosity. A young woman smiles warmly at the viewer, resting her chin on her hand, while an older companion laughs behind her veil. The painting is renowned for its soft transitions of light and shadow—a technique known as 'sfumato'—which gives the figures a lifelike, breathing presence against the dark interior of the room.
