Commentary | Don Quixote attacks the Knight of the Mirrors while Sancho remains on a tree observed from the ground by the Knight of the Mirrors' squire (Tomé Cecial with a fake nose).
Interesting representation of Nature framing the scene; in keeping with Romantiscism taste. Deficient drawing in some figures (horses, Sancho...); acceptable engraving. |
Notes | 1 - Reprinted illustration after Paris: Maresq et Cie., 1847.
2 - Wrongly-placed in "L. VI"; it should be in "L. V". |
