Commentary | Don Quixote asleep into Montesinos' cave "dreaming" that Montesinos shows him Belerma's procession.
Montesinos and Belerma with her retinue have been drawn and engraved as transparent figures; very remarkable. The ambiguity of the scene (real or dreamt) has been resolved with originality. |
