Juan de Pareja narrates a fictionalized account of his life in seventeenth-century Spain, where he is enslaved in the household and workshop of painter Diego Velázquez. He prepares pigments, canvases, and other materials while observing both the artist's practice and the Spanish court. As Juan develops his own artistic understanding, the restrictions imposed on him make creativity, dignity, and freedom inseparable questions.
