Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. There are numerous focal points. One is formed by the infanta, who appears the center of the composition, is brightly illuminated, and is bracketed by two ladies-in-waiting.
2. The dwarf (also a maid of honor), the painter, and the infanta herself look outside the painting in our direction, at what appears to be the king and queen entering the room and who seem to be reflected in a mirror on the back wall. Perhaps the artist is painting their portrait, and thus they would be a focal point.
3. Perhaps we are looking at a mirror reflection of the artist painting the infanta, and the royal couple is entering the room to observe.
4. Perhaps the king and queen are not there at all, and we see a painted portrait of them on the wall.
5. The painting seems to depict a work-in-progress.
