It's awesome, and the details are beautiful!
It reminds me so much to "Las Meninas" of Velásquez.

Beautiful job
regardless of its mood!

I'm glad you like it. This is the synopsis on Wikipedia:

The Birthday of the Infanta is about a hunchbacked dwarf, found by courtiers of the King of Spain in the woods and sold to them by his father, brought to palace for the amusement of his daughter, the Infanta, on her twelfth birthday.

Her birthday is the only time she is allowed to mingle with other children, and she much enjoyed the many festivities arranged to mark it, especially the Dwarf's performance. He danced, as he did in the woods, thoroughly unaware of his audience's laughing at him. She insisted on his performing a second time for her after dinner.

The Dwarf mistakenly believed the Infanta must love him, and tried to find her, passing through a garden where the flowers, sundial, and fish ridiculed him, but birds and lizards did not. He found his way inside the palace, and searched through rooms hoping to find the Infanta, but finding them all devoid of life.

Eventually, he stumbled upon a grotesque monster that mimicked his every move in one of the rooms. When the realization came that it was his own reflection, he knew then that the Infanta did not love him and he fell to the floor, kicking and screaming. The Infanta and the other children came upon him and thought it to be another act, and laughed and applauded while his flailing grew more and more weak before he stopped moving altogether. The Infanta demanding more entertainment, a servant tried to rouse him, but discovered his heart had stopped. Telling this to the Infanta, she speaks the last line of the story "For the future, let those who come to play with me have no hearts."
