“Babia” is a village in the region of León, Spain, where royalty in the Middle Ages would go to distract themselves from their problems. It was an idyllic and peaceful place, perfect for rest and daydreaming. The current expression “estar en la Babia” (to be in Babia) means to be lost in your own thoughts and daydreams, paying no attention to what surrounds you. The protagonist of the painting is immersed in Babia.
