Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Reading from a manuscript, the priest tells the story of Lothario, Anselmo, and Camilla. In this image, Camilla, Anselmo's wife, sits on a stone bench in a garden dressed in white flowing apparel talking jovially to Anselmo on the left, who leans comfortably on the left arm of the bench. On Camilla's left a dog lies down on the flowing cloth from her dress and stares toward Lothario, Anselmo's best friend, who looks up at the sky, forlorn and in love with Camilla. A cherub flies over Anselmo and Camilla, waving its arms in the air.
