Commentary Fourth illustration in this edition about El Curioso Impertinente.
Carnedio reads to Anselmo and Camila a sonnet for Cloris, a pretended lover.
Balaca has tried to recreate historical details (clothes, furniture, tapestries...) in a very accurate way, in keeping with 19th century taste for History Painting.
The color presents some deficiencies. 
Notes It has been used a variety of chromolithography known as oleography to imitate an oil painting.
