| Commentary | Two different scenes in the same plate (archaic):
The first one, in the background: don Quixote is beaten by the Toledo silk merchants' groom. The second scene, in the foreground: don Quixote is taken back home on Pedro Alonso's mule; Rocinante carries don Quixote's arms. Drawing and engraving are quite good; well-drawn figures and fine burin lines. |
