Commentary | Don Quixote, completely armed and mounted on Rocinante, protected by the allegory of Fame (female winged figure holding a laurel wreath) and by Cupid (winged boy holding a torch).
Image in keeping with 18th century allegorical illustrations (see Coypel's). Illustration with little novelty; acceptable drawing. |
Notes | 1 - Deficient process reproduction.
2 - The figure of Cupid, with butterfly wings, could be also considered as an image of Folly. |
