"......the penetrating but also mischievous glance of the two women as they muster the passing parade achieves a riviting liveliness. One feels compelled to pay them an acceptable compliment or to gain their attention and approval in some other way."
Fred Licht, Goya, published by Abbeville Press, Page 116
