Commentary Dorotea tells her story to the priest, the barber and Cardenio; one night, don Fernando entered to her room begging for her love.
The scene is quite theatrical and has a clear Romantic sense; the gestures of the figures, although theatrical, are good, specially Dorotea's.
See how the engraving has highlighted Dorotea's figure; her figure, almost white, appears over a intense black shadow.
