| Commentary | The Duchess' page encounters Sancho's daughter, Sanchica, washing in a river with other women.
Accurate representation: "... vio en un arroyo estar lavando cantidad de mujeres, a quien preguntó si le sabrían decir si en aquel lugar vivía una mujer llamada Teresa Panza [...] a cuya pregunta se levantó en pie una mozuela que estaba lavando" (50:2). The group of women in the right is a detailed genre scene painted from life. Excellent drawing and engraving. |
