	Then there is this other version of the buffoon Sebastian de Morra, of debated attribution, that is part of a private collection in Switzerland. Though perhaps not as good as the one considered the original by the experts (see it on page 9 here), it has doubtless artistic merit as well. Diego Velazquez - El bufón Sebastián de Morra (oil on canvas, 1645)

	A few more paintings of debated attribution here and in the next posts. Given their exceptional quality, they are very probably Velazquez's work, though a certain unfinished appearance / poor condition makes them look otherwise. Diego Velazquez - Portrait of a Clergyman (oil on canvas, 1622 - 1623) Diego Velazquez - The Count-Duke of Olivares (oil on canvas, 1624 - 1626) Diego Velazquez - Portrait of a Man (oil on canvas, 1626 - 1628)

	The same observations regarding these two masterpieces, one of them (La gallega) downright unfinished but revealing Velazquez's hand with clothes). Diego Velazquez - Santa Rufina (oil on canvas, 1632 - 1634) Diego Velazquez - La gallega (oil on canvas, 1645 - 1650)

	Dear friends, I would like to post some of Velazquez's early paintings that I have missed along this thread. To begin with, here are three of the very few of mythological subject that he produced along his lifetime. Diego Velazquez - A Sybil (oil on canvas, 1630 - 1631) Diego Velazquez - Mars, God of War (oil on canvas, 1640) Diego Velazquez - Mercury and Argos (oil on canvas, 1659)

	And here is Velazquez's wonderful portrait of the Court Dwarf Don Antonio el Inglés and dog, which so far had not found its way into this thread. Diego Velazquez - Court Dwarf Don Antonio el Inglés (oil on canvas, 1640 - 1642)
