About this work

Left: Gil Blas discusses the future of 'niece' Lukrezia with Estrella, his old love Laura. At the moment Estrella slips up and it becomes clear to Gil Blas that Lukrezia is actually his daughter, the fourteen-year-old enters. Right: Gil Blas on audience with the heir prince Philip of Spain (seated on an armchair to the right). The prince recommends him to the Count of Leyra (standing before the fireplace).
