Las Hilanderas is a painting by the Spanish painter Diego Velázquez dating from c. 1657 and housed in the Museo del Prado of Madrid Spain. It was painted for Don Pedro de Arce huntsman to King Philip IV. Stylistic elements such as the lightness the economical use of paint and the clear influence of the Italian Baroque have led many scholars to assert that it was painted in 1657.
