	Commentary	Don Quixote at his library, with a distant look, holding a chivalry book and accompanied by the greyhound; books and arms around. This representation is quite close to Johannot's (Paris: Dubochet, 1836 - 1837). Marstrand's drawing style, with quick and nervous lines, is quite remarkable.
	Notes	According to the Index included at the end of the volume, this illustration (Plate I) should be placed f.p. 1. Wilhelm Nicolai Marstrand (Copenhagen, 1810 – Copenhagen, 1873): Genre and history painter, illustrator and portraitist. Marstrand was a disciple of Danish neoclassical painter Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783 – 1853) at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. Between 1836 and 1839, he traveled to Germany and Italy (where he returned between 1855 and 1860); then, in 1840, to Munich and Paris. Two years after his return to Copenhagen in 1841, he became a member of the Academy of Copenhagen; in 1848, a professor; and, in 1853, director. Marstrand’s works have a characteristic vivid and exquisite style. He is one of the best known artists belonging to the Golden Age of Danish Painting. (Benezit VII, 205).
