| Commentary | After Sancho's departure, don Quixote remains alone in the palace and is accosted by Altisidora and Emerencia.
Accurate to Cervantes' text, Altisidora is playing the harp in the garden, while don Quixote (with serious face) hears her song through the bars of the window. The night light has not been quite well-resolved; Altisidora's figure is slightly disproportionate. Remarkable detailed architecture. Good engraving. |
| Notes | 1 - Same plate first engraved for Paris: Baudry, 1835 (after Rivelle's illustration for Madrid: Imprenta Real, 1819).
