Translated Title

Loa spoken by Sancho Panza and Dona Cenobia. In honor of the purity of the Most Holy Mary

Description

The recto contains an engraving of two cartoonish figures, a woman on the left and a man on the right. The woman holds a spoon to her mouth, eating from a large pot, with a sack of food spilling out beneath her. The man gestures at her with arms raised and his hands balled into fists.

The text is a loa, a short dramatic work that originated in Spain but that proliferated in Latin America. Loas entertained audiences waiting for the beginning of a festival or full length theatrical work. The dialogue of this work between Sancho Panza and Dona Cenobia focuses on Sancho Panza's love of eating. To keep Dona Cenobia from his food, he tells her it is poison and a misunderstanding ensues. When the religious procession passes them, they stop their conversation and join in prayer.
