Bartolomé Vázquez's 1792 engraving, "The dwarf Francisco Lezcano, called 'El Niño de Vallecas', after Velázquez", is a reproduction of a painting by Diego Velázquez. The print depicts Francisco Lezcano, a dwarf known for his size, seated in a landscape. This artwork, which is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is an example of the revival of interest in Velázquez's work during the late 18th century. Vázquez's engraving showcases the detailed and expressive qualities of Velázquez's original painting while paying homage to the Spanish master.
