Commentary | At night, don Quixote mounted on Rocinante and Sancho (asleep?) on his donkey.
That illustration and caption are a quite free interpretation of the text: "... according to the custom of knights-errant, they went on as Rozinante's will directed, which was a guide to his master and also to Dapple, who always followed, in love and good-fellowship, wherever he led the way" (p. 146). The scene should not be set at night. Good drawing and pleasant coloring, very remarkable; in keeping with an edition for children. |
