REDUCED! Dulcinea del Toboso at 78 years old. Quixote. Original Oil

Description: Why are we not shipping as quickly as we used to? As you’ve probably been notified, eBay no longer allows a seller to use PayPal for receipt of funds: sellers must have a bank account to which deposits are made in order to sell on eBay, now. This means that eBay receives your funds and holds them for a period of three to five days before they are deposited to the seller’s account and the transaction may be considered consummated. In brief, eBay is now “floating” and earning interest on millions of dollars every day until it is distributed to their sellers, like us, and probably, you too. So, although we indicate that we will ship within a period of time that is normal for us – nearly always within 24 hours except weekends – that cannot happen any longer. While it will probably do no good at all, if this policy offends you, you may wish to contact eBay and lodge your consternation. Reduced! From $3870 to $575 and we pay the shipping. Few loves have matched that which encompassed Don Quixote de la Mancha, knight errant, for his beloved Dulcinea del Toboso, an (idealized) woman of incomparable grace, youthful exuberance, and a distinct beauty deserving of Don Quixote’s undiminishing adoration and commitment. It was a love that he carried throughout his many and various campaigns against evil, misdeeds and during his never-ending promise – his Knight’s Pledge - to bring justice to those who most deserved his attentions. But, youth, like each ripple of water over stones in a brook, alas, fades, and his incomparable Dulcinea was not to remain the vigorous woman whose soulful love fulminated within Quixote. Many years after Quixote’s sad, reconciled demise, Dulcinea lived on in her last years remaining in El Toboso, Spain, forever recalling that which might have been. In this wonderful image of Dulcinea at 78 years old she carries the anthropomorphic Quixote (her “Companion”) in her arms, and always near her heart warming her being and reassuring her soul with the soft pulse of Quixote’s breathing, reminding her that she lived on. The cat, too, existed within the soul of the old woman and took no leave of her - ever: her constant companion in the small kitchen, in the bedroom, and sharing the outhouse whenever it became necessary. They were never apart. People asked, “What will happen to her cat when she passes on?” Those who understood the bond between the two said, “Plainly, The cat will pass unto God with her: it is only right, no?” (Claramente, el gato pasará a Dios con ella: es justo, ¿no?) And, so it came to pass.
