Commentary Tosilos falls in love with doña Rodríguez' daughter; the metaphor used by Cervantes -"el niño ceguezuelo, a quien suelen llamar de ordinario Amor por esas calles, [...] llegándose a él bonitamente, sin que nadie le viese, le envasó al pobre lacayo una flecha de dos varas por el lado izquierdo, y le pasó el corazón de parte a parte" (56:2)- has been illustrated by Johannot with great mastery, creating a very original image.
Notice Tosilos' armour, perfectly drawn and engraved.
