Commentary | Don Quixote hanged by his hand from an inn window.
In contrast with previous illustrations of this same scene (see Dordrecht: Savery, 1657 or London: Walthoe, 1731), Johannot has limited it to don Quixote's figure, perfectly detailed; Rocinante, the four travelers and the innkeeper have not been included. The image is not expressive enough. |
Notes | 1 - Acceptable copy after Tony Johannot's illustration for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
