Commentary | Don Quixote in bed dreaming his adventures; these appear in different scenes, all framed by clouds: don Quixote and the giants (windmills); don Quixote and the lady of a castle (Maritornes); the enchanter Frestón; a tournament (don Quixote against Tosilos); don Gaiferos and Melisendra; and the armies (flock of sheep).
Image in keeping with Romanticism taste; it is represented don Quixote's fantasy, not the reality. Very original headpiece format. |
