Commentary | The innkeeper helps don Quixote to drink using a cane through his helmet visor; also in the scene, two party girls (doña Molinera and doña Tolosa) and, in the background, a sowgelder playing his reed pipe (here as a flute).
Drawing and engraving are very remarkable; good and highly-detailed illustration. |
Notes | 1 - Process reproduction of Pinelli's etching for Roma: R. Gentilucci, 1833-34.
