About the Artwork

One can’t help it. The bridegroom is not the desirable, but he is rich, and, at the cost of an unhappy girl’s freedom, relief for a hungry family is bought. Such is the way of the world!

 

Como ha de ser. El novio no es de los más apetecibles, pero es rico y a costa de la libertad de una niña infeliz se compra el socorro de una familia hambrienta. ¡Así va el mundo!
