Commentary | Composition divided in two parts:
Above, Marcela's appearance. Underneath, Grisóstomo's corpse surrounded by shephers; Vivaldo holding a paper with Grisóstomo's song; Ambrosio pointing to Marcela; don Quixote mounted on Rocinante and Sancho with his donkey, both looking at Marcela. Theatrical composition. The illustration is acceptable as a whole, but quite bad in some details (notice the faces of some shepherds and other details). |
Notes | 1 - Río y Rico reads the engraver's signature as "Cabot", but it should be read as "Caba"; it appears much clearer in "... Y A PUÑO CERRADO LE COMENZÓ Á DAR TANTOS GOLPES..." (vol. I, f.p. 364).
2 - Copied after Manuel García y García "Hispaleto"'s painting; he was awarded with a third medal at the National Exposition of Fine Arts of Madrid in 1862. |
