Description

Español: Bufón desconocido con libros, tradicionalmente había sido identificado con don Diego de Acedo "El Primo" († 1660), un bufón que estuvo al servicio de la Corte española entre 1635 y 1660, que en 1644 acompañó a Felipe IV en la Jornada de Aragón, y del que se sabe que fue retratado en esa ocasión por Velázquez. Sin embargo, los estudios técnicos realizados en 2012 a los hilos de la tela han probado que esta última obra es la P001202.
