Abstract


The paper examines the humorous and satirical value of the sonnet «The Portrait of a Lady after her death», included in Rimas de Tomé de Burguillos, the last book of Lope de Vega. Other lyrical interpretations are discussed and details are given concerning its source of inspiration, which is a joke recorded by Juan Rufo in his Six hundred apothegms (Seiscientas apotegmas).
