The Utility of Elliott's Delegate

The painting donated by the late Sir John Elliott to the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville (Benito Navarrete via) has some secular nativity scene: a boy playing diabolus, some friars walking, a gallant scene, a hunter and his greyhound runner, two swordsmen, a mule cooking, the air waving the poplars, a strolling carriage, the women covered like nuns... and that absolute distinction in the dress between the plebe and those of the ringorrango.
