Commentary | Montesinos, knelt before Durandarte's tomb, dialogues with his "dead" cousin while don Quixote observes them.
Drawing and engraving are remarkable, specially in Montesinos and don Quixote's figures. The whole setting has been limited to Durandarte's tomb. |
Notes | 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37.
2 - Compare with Smirke's illustration (London: Cadell & Davies, 1818). |
