| Commentary | In a French court garden, countess Trifaldi shows her beard to don Quixote, amazing him and Sancho.
The composition is created with gestures and looks: the Duchess orders two maidens to be quiet; the Duke laughs; Sancho's surprised; don Quixote's astonished. On the left, Trifaldín's figure is very remarkable, although he should hold a scimitar, not a mace. |
