Realistic painter Ignacio Escosura specialized in genre and Orientalist scenes. After some study in Madrid, Escosura studied in Paris, which he made his one of his three permanent residences (besides Vienna and London). This historical costume piece is set in the eighteenth-century, which for world-weary viewers in the 1800’s seemed a simpler and purer time.
