Title: [Piled Fish]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe; The River Ebro
Description: Two shads lying on top of the other, the bottom fish facing the left with its mouth agape, the topmost fish facing the background. The image is occasioned by Sancho Panza saying "I must warn your worship that, to me, this same boat seems not to belong to the enchanted,but to some fishermen upon the river, for here they catch the best shads in the world" when Quixote claims the boat by the river Ebro is enchanted.
