| Commentary | Simple and theatrical composition (all characters in the foreground as if they were on a stage).
While don Quixote speaks, one of the officers of justice reads don Quixote's description to arrest him. It has not been chosen the later fight. Between them, the judge (Juan Pérez de Viedma) and the priest; on the left, the barber (#2?). Drawing and engraving are excellent; masterly large size figures. |
