“A escola de Doloriñas” by Julia Minguillón, painted in 1940, represents the rural school directed by the teacher Dolores “Doloriñas” Chaves in Vilapol, Xove, Galicia. Teaching was paid mostly in produce or even working for the teacher, and only the wealthier could pay with actual money.
Children were probably wearing their most elegant clothes, but note the clogs typical of Galicia and really needed because of the very rainy winters.
