| Commentary | In the center of the composition, Altisidora resurrected; figure of great beauty, carefully-done drawing and engraving.
Surrounding her, the same characters that in previous illustration (don Quixote, the Duke, Duchess, Minos, Rhadamanthus, Sancho and servants). Grandiloquent scene, with carefully-designed perspective and composition. Illustration of great quality (detailed and varied faces, gestures, expressions...). |
