Acerca da exposição de arte de Velázquez na National Gallery Londrina... fica a sublime descrição._________________
"She reclines on her side, naked, back turned, glancing into a mirror. Pearly flesh sinks luxuriantly into a gray satin bedsheet; it had been a deep mauve, before the color faded, which accounts for the pinkish reflections still cast on her inner thigh, ankle and buttock.
Her expression is ambiguous, the features half cast in shadow, catching our eye but blurred by a dim light, by the old mirror and by all the soft, veiled edges in the picture. It’s the stripper principle: show less, leave more to the imagination. There isn’t a sexier image in art. Perfect beauty, Velázquez implies, eludes strict definition."
