Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote holds the basin trying to convince Sancho that it is Mambrino's helmet; in the left foreground, the barber flees away.
The drawing is clumsy and the engraving too much marked (see figures in the foreground); the excess of stipple in the background makes the print blurred. |
