Commentary | On the left, don Quixote, bandaged and in bed, and doña Rodríguez; both talking by the light of a candle (accurate to Cervantes' text).
From the right, Altisidora and other Duchess' maidens arrive holding their shoes; one of them is almost catching doña Rodríguez. Extraordinary detailed setting (furniture, canopy, clock...). Coypel has inserted one anecdotal element: a cat observing a mouse. Excellent light and shadow effects. Highly-detailed drawing and engraving. |
Notes | 1 – Turned copy in a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30); canopy and room ceiling have been enlarged. |
