| Commentary | One of the best known images of don Quixote becoming mad; while reading, the library begings to fill with small figures of errant knights fighting, maidens being captured, dragons, knights riding mice, castles, flying coats of arms... the curtain transforms into a giant's head.
Drawing, composition and engraving are masterly. |
