Description
-
An older woman (right) walks in the direction of a church located in the background on the right. She is wearing a courtly petticoat, regal hat, and holds a distaff in her left hand. She is followed by a male attendant who carries the back end of her dress so it does not drag along the dirt, he is also wearing regal attire and a plumed hat. On the left, a group of women have gathered in farmer's clothing with baskets in hand, pointing and gesturing to the countess as if to mock her. In the background on the left, the silhouette of people pointing at the countess can be seen from the windows of buildings. The image is occasioned by Teresa Panza saying "No, I would not have people, when they see me decked out like a countess or governess, immediately say : ' Look how stately madam hog-feeder moves ! Yesterday she toiled at her distaff from morning to night, and went to mass with the tail of her petticoat over her head instead of a veil, and to-day, forsooth, she goes with her farthingale, her embroideries, and her nose in the air, as if we did not know her'" (Page 59).
