| Commentary | Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
Chodowiecki uses Savery's composition and renews it. In the foreground, surrounding Grisóstomo's corpse, shepherds, don Quixote, Sancho, Ambrosio and Vivaldo; all looking to the background (Marcela's appearance). Impression of depth by diagonal composition (from left bottom to right top) and shades. Scene of great beauty and realism. |
