Title: [The Priest Spies Dorotea Washing her Hair]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe; Sierra Morena
Description: Dorotea sits on a rock, dipping her right foot and wiping her hair with water from the rivulet having rolled up her pants and let her hair down. She looks over her shoulder thinking herself watched. On the left by her side sit a pair of shoes, a bag filled with her belongings and a hat. In the top left, the priest covers his mouth in thought, the barber looks down at the girl with a walking stick in hand, and Cardenio's face can be seen on the right side of the tree.
