Commentary | Two different scenes (archaic):
The first one, in the background: don Quixote fights with the muleteers during the vigil of his arms. The second one, in the foreground: don Quixote is knighted by the innkeeper while doña Molinera fits his spurs and doña Tolosa his sword. The boy holding a candle that appears in Cervantes' text is missing. Drawing and engraving are acceptable, but simple and poor. |
Notes | 1 - Same plate first engraved for Lyon: Thomas Amaulry, 1711.
2 – Inverted copy after Bouttats' illustration for Amberes: Verdussen, 1672-73. 3 - Unsigned. |
