Sad Farewell Engraving by N. Santamaría, after a work by José García y Ramos, c. 1900 Location unknown |
||||||||||
| García y Ramos painted scenes of everyday life, often with a light sentimental or theatrical tone, and here a farewell, the kind the poet would like to feel lasts throughout life, is finally spoken. He cannot hold back his tears and makes a final effort to move away. She clasps his hand, and with her lips places on it the seal of her affection. |
