| Commentary | Don Quixote with the allegory of Folly, as it was described by Cesare Ripa (dressed as a jester with small bells and holding a whirligig) and Love, as Cupid.
Folly and Love show to don Quixote Dulcinea's portrait. Don Quixote appears as Knight of the Lions. A satyr (reference to Don Quixote as a book of satire) sets fire to different chivalry books: AmadÃs de Grecia, El Caballero de la Cruz, Olivante de Laura... Good portrait of don Quixote. Drawing and engraving of great quality. |
