A woman appears, seated in the foreground with her head on her hand, which also holds a handkerchief. In the background, other majos comprise what is clearly a scene of gallantry that contrasts with the meditative or reflexive attitude of the young woman, whose handkerchief seems to indicate lovesickness.
This cartoon was for one of the tapestries in the El Pardo Palace. Its format indicates that it hung above a door.
