Title: [Sanchica and Teresa Seated in a Coach]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Two women sit in a carriage dressed in courtly apparel, the young women in the foreground looks out of the carriage's window towards the sky, her arm leaning against the sill. In the background, an older woman clasps her hands over her stomach and stares ahead of her. The image is occasioned by Sanchica saying "Would to God it were to-day rather thanto-morrow, though folks that saw me seated in that coach with my lady mother should say: ' Do but see Sanchica the garlic-eater's daughter, how she sits in state, and lolls in her coach like a she-pope! But let them jeer ; let them trudge through the mud while I ride in my coach with my feet above the ground" (Page 537).
