| Commentary | Oldfield prefers scenes with dialogues or speeches where all the attention is in gestures, looks and faces.
See, for instance, don Quixote's hands while he promises Sancho the government of an island, or Sancho's face while he listens to don Quixote attentively. First representation of this episode. Bucolic setting. Drawing and engraving are excellent. |
