Title: Delivering the Message
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Plains of La Mancha; Europe; Spain
Description: Sancho Panza's daughter meets the page sent by the Duke and the Duchess on behalf of Sancho Panza. Running to their house, Sancho's daughter (pictured in the middle with her hands raised in celebration) called for her mother. Her her mother, Teresa Panza (pictured on the left), came out, wearing a gray petticoat, a gray bodice also and loose smock sleeves. Upon meeting Teresa, the page went and kneeled before the lady Teresa with great respect. Then he pulled out of his pocket a string of corals, each bead set in gold and presented it to Teresa. In the background, the page's horse looks over the farm's fence at the ensuing events.
