Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote, with great dignity, puts the basin on his head, while Sancho Panza laughs. In the background, the barber flees away leaving his mule fallen.
Well-detailed drawing and engraving. See rainbow in the background; it has rained at the beginning of this episode. |
Notes | 1 - Clumsy copy of Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30) through Picart's copy (La Haye: Hondt, 1746). Both 1746 and 1777 copies with the same vertical format. Both c. 1728 and 1777 illustrations with the same composition; in 1746 it appears turned.
2 - In Coypel's illustration appeared two women that Picart erased, as we see in 1777. |
