In Sevilla, a mad man blew dogs with a cane. The representation is very decorous; the dog appears already fleeing away while the mad man explains how difficult it is blowing dogs and making books.
Good figures.

| Commentary | This is not the first representation of this episode (see Madrid: Ibarra, 1780), but there are not too many examples of it.
In Sevilla, a mad man blew dogs with a cane. The representation is very decorous; the dog appears already fleeing away while the mad man explains how difficult it is blowing dogs and making books. Good figures. |
