Pacheco states that Mary must be depicted decently in her Betrothal scene. The artist Don Luis Pascual was criticised by the Spanish author, whose painting shows a Virgin Mary not dressed “appropriately in correspondence to Her greatness and importance”. The reason for such criticism is because the artist depicted her without a mantle, “with a large Venetian skirt very tucked into the waist, full of many bows of colored ribbons and with large sleeves”. (Pacceho 1990, book 3, ch.12, 591-592)
