| Commentary | The Duchess' page, knelt down before Teresa Panza, gives her letters and presents from Sancho and the Duchess.
Accurate details to Cervantes' text: Sanchica appears barefoot and Teresa holding a distaff of tow. Habitual scene in 18th century editions. Setting, clothes and details according to English liking for picturesquism. Large-size figures. Excellent drawing and engraving. |
