| Commentary | Scene more comical for the dialogue (Don Quixote's speech about the Helmet of Mambrino/barber basin) than for the action.
In the background, the barber running away. Excellent drawing and engraving; detailed use of etching (notice the setting). Notice don Quixote's rhetorical gesture and Sancho's incredulous expression. |
