| Commentary | Don Quixote attacking the wineskins (accurate to Cervantes' text: asleep, dressing his shirt, a night-cap, a blanket wrapped around his left arm and wielding his sword).
The innkeeper, prepared to hit don Quixote, tries to stop him; the barber, the priest, Sancho and Dorotea observe the scene. Scene resolved with naturalism; good drawing and engraving; notice Dorotea's figure. |
