Velázquez enjoyed a triumph in Rome due to the portraits painted there, but Philip IV wanted his favourite court painter to come back to court as soon as possible to paint his second wife, Queen Mariana. In his last years Velázquez painted other portraits of the royal family, examples are the portraits of Philip IV, Infanta María Teresa, Infanta Margarita, and Infante Felipe Próspero.
