"The Spanish Flower-Girl, by Murillo, is one of his most graceful works.  It belongs to his first period, and is, perhaps, the most loveable picture of his series drawn from everyday life.  The flower-girl, seated at the base of a column, is displaying her roses in the folds of a scarf, the end of which is carelessly thrown over her shoulder.  Her prettily-modelled head is bound with a turban-like handkerchief,  and a rose fastened in its folds lends additional interest to the innocent and winsome beauty of her face.  Murillo excelled in the management of draperies, the graceful drawing of his figures, and the delicate modulations of his lights and shadows.  The original picture belongs to the Dulwich Gallery, Dulwich College, England."  (Art Journal 1877)
