Commentary | This scene is an almost perfect and turned copy after Navarro's illustration (Madrid: Sancha, 1797 - 1798); don Quixote is healed by the innkeeper's wife, to whom Sancho is saying that he has an arm hurt too, while Maritornes observes them.
The remarkable figure of Maritornes designed by Navarro, blind of one eye, is unmistakable. Johannot has changed the figure of the daughter notably, now much more young and beautiful. |
Notes | 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37.

Acostado Don Quixote en un camaranchon y en una dura cama, mal herido de los estacazos de los Yanqueses, la ventera y su hija le emplastan de arriba abaxo, alumbrandoles Maritornes, y asistiendo Sancho Panza, que dice á la ventera reserve algunas estopas para vizmarle á él, que tambien se sentia dolorido.
