About the Artwork
The purpose is to wheedle the bridegroom by showing him the pedigree, and who the parents, grand-parents, great grand-parents, and great-great-grand-parents of the young lady were. But, who is she? He will find out later.
Aquí se trata de engatusar al novio haciéndole ver por la egecutoria quienes fueron los padres, abuelos, visabuelos y tatarabuelos de la señorita; y ella, ¿quén es? Luego la verá.
