Spaniards love ladies-in-waiting! In Russian, they are also called "meninas" - in the Spanish manner. 
A lady-in-waiting or court lady is a female personal assistant at a court, attending on a royal woman or a high-ranking noblewoman. Historically, in Europe, a lady-in-waiting was often a noblewoman but of lower rank than the woman to whom she attended.
Las Meninas and their clothes represented the fashion center of the world at that time. Valazquez one of Spains most important artists immortalised member of the Royal Family of Spain when King Philip the Fourth (1605-1665) was in power. The most important painting of Velazquez is called Las Meninas.
