Commentary | Don Quixote, accompanied by Sancho, discovers some windmills and recognizes them as giants.
Excellent drawing and engraving; good realism, details, gestures and expressions. The windmills are not Spanish yet, but their representation is effective. Remarkable and highly-detailed ornamental frame; it includes arms and two inscriptions ("DOÑA-DULCINEE-DU-TOBOSO" and "DON-QUICHOTTE-DE-LA-MANCH"). |
