Description
Her name was Dolores Bonilla Alcazar and was one of the most popular characters in the Barcelona of the time.
It was a well-known figure who frequented for many years the Ramblas which drew attention for his bizarre dress and hairstyles with various ribbons that adorned with flowers that would give him Florists Rambla de las Flores mode. Many stories were told of the life of this woman, surely many of them false but popular fantasy is much given to inventing.
One story is that he had lost the reason for the death of a child in a car accident. Another story is that love with the son of a noble famliia of Barcelona who opposed the relationship as the child she was expecting it snatched crazy for this cause and treatment due to lost memory and reason born.
Many people on the Ramblas in Barcelona, laughed at her to make life much more bitter. Starved and died in the deepest misery.
This is my tribute to those that cause laughter by his misfortune. Ink and pencil.
