| Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho, accompanied by two students and two labourers on horseback, arrive to the place of Camacho's wedding, but don Quixote decides to spend the night in the forest.
Doré has included a group of musicians; "Los músicos eran los regocijadores de la boda, que en diversas cuadrillas por aquel agradable sitio andaban, unos bailando, y otros cantando, y otros tocando la diversidad de los referidos instrumentos" (19:2). They are quite remarkable; Doré has used figures of Spanish gipsies, beggars, a dwarf...; a very picturesque group. |
