Commentary | Well-known scene; doctor Pedro Recio does not allow Sancho to eat and, pointing the dishes with his wand, orders the servants to take them away; several ladies and gentlemen observe them.
Highly-detailed drawing and engraving; figures of great beauty (ladies on the left) and realism (servants on the right); good pictorial effects too. Vanderbank represented this scene with quite more austerity (London: Tonson, 1738). |
Notes | 1 - "As has already been stated, this print was probably engraved a few years earlier than the preceding six, from which, too, it differs in style of execution" (John La Farge, Don Quixote, w/p, commentary for plate VII). |
