Iconographic Analysis 
Name:Vieja Friendo Huevos
Type of painting :.This painting was drew  in Seville.As is a painting of the baroque is dark

Formal Analysis
Composition,space,decoration: This picture take place in a dark kitchen (typical because in  baroque the painting are dark) .In this painting there are two person, a old woman and a young boy.The woman is frying eggs while the boy is hold a melon and a container with oil or wine.

Meaning
This painting have a lot of  meaning  because during the year all the important painter have been talking about this painting.Some thought that is in common with the picaresque novel but other thought that is a meaning religious because the woman is looking at nothing like was looking at god. But in my opinion , I think that is a grandmother cooking for her grandson.
