An unidentified young man who stands behind Balthazar is looking on. Kneeling near the Virgin's left shoulder is Saint Joseph.

Apollo in the Forge of Vulcan, sometimes referred to as Vulcan's Forge, is an oil painting by Diego de Velázquez completed after his first visit to Italy in 1629. Critics agree that the work should be dated to 1630, the same year as his companion painting Joseph's Tunic. It appears that neither of the two paintings were commissioned by the king, although both became part of the royal collections within a short time. The painting became part of the collection of the Museo del Prado, in Madrid, in 1819.

View of the Garden of the Villa Medici

View of the Garden of the Villa Medici is a small painting by Diego Velázquez of the garden at the Villa Medici in Rome, with some figures standing watching an unseen event, possibly the works behind the scaffolding in the middle of the building in the background. It is now in the Prado. There is some controversy as to its date, with some scholars believing it was made during the artist's first trip to Italy (1629–1631) while others believe its advanced technique indicates it was created on his second trip (1649–1651). Art historian Enriqueta Harris believes that records that came to light in 1976 of repairs made during 1648–49 to the villa, and specifically to the grotto that is boarded up in Velázquez's painting, confirms the later date. There is another version with similar features and the same title, and the two are of similar size and vary little in their execution and manner of depicting the garden.
