Title: [Ricote Joins Company With Pilgrims]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: A procession of pilgrims in rows of two enter beneath a stone archway into a holy place. The pilgrims wear white robes that fall to the ground and wide brimmed white hats with walking sticks that reach the chest. On the left, one of the pilgrims is on his knees praying at the entrance to this holy place. The image is occasioned by Ricote saying "I took a house in a village near Augsburgh, but soon left it and joined company with these pilgrims, who come in great numbers every year into Spain to visit its holy places, which theylook upon as their Indies, and a certain gain and sure profit" (Page 547).
