Commentary | The innkeeper's wife and daughter healing don Quixote's wounds; also Maritornes, holding a candle, and Sancho.
Notice Hogarth's scathing and satirical style in some figures: the innkeeper's wife, Maritornes or Sancho. Maritornes' figure is especially remarkable; very grotesque. The light and shadow contrasts are very strong; they suggest a very gloomy atmosphere (as a scene of witches); quite remarkable too. The quality of drawing and engraving is excellent. |
