Reading the famous Tales of the Alhambra by Irving, in his
story "The moor's Legacy," we will eventually learn the fate of the
Moor and the water-carrier who find a treasure.
"The moor returned to Africa, to Tangier, his hometown,
and the galician man headed to Portugal with his wife, children, and donkey.
There, with the guidance and advice of his wife, he became an important figure,
as she dressed up her worthy little man in a doublet, breeches, a feathered
hat, and a sword at his waist, abandoning the family name of Perejil and
adopting the more resonant one of Don Pedro Gil. His offspring grew with
robustness and joy, though all of them of short stature and bow-legged; meanwhile,
Señora Gil, covered in fringes, brocade, and lace from head to toe, with
sparkling diamond earrings on all her fingers, became a model of gaudy
elegance."
P.S. The painting is "The Patizambo" by José de
Ribera. It depicts a Neapolitan beggar with his cane and a paper that says
"an alms, for the love of God."
"Abigarrada elegancia". Para gustos, los colores.
