Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho in a boat in river Ebro, leaving Rocinante and the donkey on the bank.
Scene resolved with certain originality; Wald has not represented the well-known moment when the boat approaches the mill. Remarkable contrast between both figures; don Quixote standing and thoughtful, and Sancho sat and upset. Good illustration. |
Notes | 1 - B/w illustrations are signed not only by the painter (AW), but also by the photographer/technician; however, his signature has not been identified; it is formed by the initials superimposed (A? C? T? P?) and the reference "ph." (photographer or photographed). |
