Commentary | Reference to the Knight of the Lake's tale as told by don Quixote to the canon; the Knight is received by several damsels and one of them takes him into the castle; "y tomar luego la que parecía principal de todas por la mano al atrevido caballero que se arrojó en el ferviente lago, y llevarle, sin hablarle palabra, dentro del rico alcázar o castillo" (50:1).
Scene in keeping with Romanticism taste; medieval and orientalist setting. |
