| Commentary | After asking Sancho to Maese Pedro's ape what is his wife doing, the monkey jumps onto Maese Pedro's shoulder to "tell" him the answer; don Quixote and others observe them.
Don Quixote's figure is remarkable, sat and leaned on his sword looking at the ape with attention; Maese Pedro with a patch on his left eye, accurate to Cervantes' text. Interest in detail and accurate setting (clothes, architecture...). Good engraving. |
