This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 109.239.84.123 (talk) at 15:04, 18 November 2016 (I removed inaccurate text suggesting that Nieto was the subject of the missing Velazquez painting discussed in Laura Cumming's book The Vanishing Man - in truth Velazquez's portrait of him is merely used as the cover illustration.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Diego Velázquez, Portrait of a Man (possibly José Nieto), c. 1635-45. Oil on canvas, Apsley House, London.[1]

José Nieto Velázquez was the Queen of Spain's chamberlain and keeper of the royal tapestries. He is the figure in the doorway in Diego Velázquez's painting Las Meninas and may have been a relative of the artist.
