Title: [Lucinda Washes her Feet in the Rivulet]
Period: 1700-1750;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: The priest and the barber (right) walk with Cardenio through a sable mountain pass, comforting Cardenio's love troubles. As they walk they hear a nearby voice complaining about hiding their body. Sensing that the voice is quite near, they search for the source and they soon find that behind a rock sits a youth (Lucinda), dressed like a peasant, sitting at the foot of an ash tree; whose face they could not then see, because he hung down his head, and was washing his feet in a rivulet which ran by. When the youth looked up, it is apparent that the figure is a girl, and Cardenio notes that the person must be divine on account of their beauty.
