The portrait of Juana Pacheco by Velazquez is from, "The Annals of the Artists of Spain" (plate 24).
The cover of a “Punch’s Almanac” is just visible behind the portrait of Hannah-Ann Stirling (1816-43). Her portrait was painted posthumously and was probably copied in December 1845 by George Urquhart (born c.1797 – died after 1846), from a full-length portrait of 1839 by John Gilbert Graham (1794-1866).
Hannah-Ann Stirling was the sister of William Stirling Maxwell (1818-1878), author and publisher of "The Annals of the Artists of Spain" (1848).
