Note: While the cart in this painting derives from the print (12A) of the Carro de los Sastres, its procession derives from the painting (10B) of the Carro de la Parroquia del Hospital de los Naturales. This painting must therefore derive both from a print (12A) and a painting (10). This painting must therefore postdate the other paintings of the Corpus Christ procession —as Carolyn Dean suggested to us in personal communication of 25 August 2010.
