| At the very least, it can be stated that fathers who characterized themselves as playing an active role in the caretaking of their infant also described their relationship with their infantas positive and secure. In Self-Portrait as Infantas Holding Court Heffernan is shown in the guise of a nude child (though with the same curiously adult head with which Velazquez often provided his Infantas, as if their worldly station made childhood not credible) standing in the foreground of a landscape holding a baby. Many try, but none succeed until a very married, clever old peasant (with the help of a grasshopper, a beetle, and a flea) solves the riddle and collects a fortune from the haughty infantas, who definitely do not want to be espoused to him. |
