| Commentary | At the inn, don Quixote is knighted by the innkeeper, who appears raising a sword.
Also in the scene, accurate to Cervantes' text and in keeping with a well-known composition, the two party girls (doña Molinera and doña Tolosa) and a boy. The figures try to be realistic and "Spanish"; notice innkeeper's "goyescas" clothes. Don Quixote's figure results serious and gaunt (notice his face), but also comical (notice the feathers on his helmet). |
