About the Artwork

These are people of another kind. Jolly, playful, accommodating, they have a sweet tooth and are fond of playing practical jokes, but they are very good-natured little fellows.

 

Ésta ya es otra gente. Alegres, juguetones, serviciales; un poco golosos, amigos de pegar chascos; pero muy hombrecitos de bien.
