Commentary | Ricardo de los Ríos resolves this scene with less realism than in other illustrations, looking more like a real scene of knight errantry than from Don Quixote; notice the castle in the background even.
Excellent composition and drawing/etching style; the movement/action of the horses and knights is masterly. |
