Title: Dotorida with the Enchanted Beard
Period: 1700-1750;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Twelve elderly women enter the garden of the Duke and Duchess, ranked in pairs, clad in large mourning habits over which they wore veils of white calicoe. They are the procession of Trifaldi, the countess of three skirts. Don Quixote (pictured to the right of the Duchess), the Duke (pictured to the left of the Duchess), and the Duchess (pictured in a white dress between Quixote and the Duke) all stood up in response to this procession. Then the twelve women ordered themselves into two rows and made a lane for the countess (pictured walking towards the Duke wearing to crown) to march between them.
