Ladies-In-Waiting

Two of Spain's most sophisticated comics creators examine the legacy of one the most enigmatic works in the history of art: Diego Velázquez's Las Meninas (The Ladies-in-Waiting).

Olivares's art moves from style to style as The Ladies-in-Waiting uses fiction to explore the ties between artists and patrons, institutions and audiences and creators and creativity.

Their combined efforts have made the book a commercial and critical sensation in Spain, garnering international comics prizes along with the equivalent of the National Book Award in Spain.
