| Commentary | Tendernes and drama are well-combined in this scene; the loving encounter between Cardenio and Luscinda (center) opposed to Dorotea preventing don Fernando from drawing his sword (right).
The priest and Sancho (left), frightened, observe the scene (the barber should appear too). Good drawing and engraving; notice Dorotea's figure. |
