"Hacia fines de este año (1915), Manolita esperaba ser madre por tercera vez, y viendo ya la cosa en inminencia, iba pensando en los días aburridos que tendría que pasar, ¡al menos aquellas paredes blancas de su habitación fuesen decoradas! pues si me das tiempo - dijo Torres - los serán; y se puso a trabajar enseguida. En cinco o seis dias la cosa estuvo lista, y fueron tres pinturas de las mas bellas [At the end of this year (1915), Manolita was going to be a mother for the third time, and seeing that the time was imminent, and thinking about the boring days ahead, she asked if at least he could decorate the white walls; and he began to work. In five or six days the work was ready, and they turned out to be three of the most beautiful paintings]." (Historia de mi vida, p. 136)
