Title:
Dios la perdone: Y era su madre
Title (translated):
For heaven's sake: and it was her mother
Description:
From Harris: Goya's commentary - The young woman left home as a little girl. She did her apprenticeship at Cadiz, she came to Madrid: there she 'won the lottery'. She goes down to the Prado, and hears a grimy, decrepit woman begging her for alms; she sends her away, the old woman persists. the fashionable young woman turns round and finds - who would have thought it - that the poor woman is her mother.
