Commentary | The illustration is more accurate to Barret's adapted translation (with notable changes) than to Cervantes' original text; Sancho, knowing that the helmet is full of curds, refuses to give the helmet to don Quixote and he hides it behind his back.
Good drawing style (quick and expressive sketching lines) and well-resolved figures. |
