Commentary | Don Quixote's dialogue with the galley slaves, escorted by a soldier on horseback.
Accurate representation of the galley slaves following Cervantes' description and order: 1) The thief that talks to don Quixote 2) The man sad and melancholic 3) The venerable white-bearded man 4) The don Juan 5) Ginés de Pasamonte, "... un poco venía diferentemente atado que los demás, porque tenía una cadena al pié, tan grande, que se la liaba por todo el cuerpo, y dos argollas á la garganta, la una en la cadena, y la otra de las que llaman guarda-amigo ó pié de amigo, de la cual descendían dos hierros que llegaban á la cintura, en los cuales se asían dos esposas donde llevaba las manos cerradas con un grueso candado" (22:1). Realistic drawing; expressions and faces as real and well-detailed portraits. Remarkable illustration. |
