Commentary | At the inn, the priest and the barber disguise themselves with the help of the innkeeper's wife; the priest as a woman and the barber with an ox-tail as beard; Maritornes observes them laughing.
In the background, through the door, it appears Sancho eating. Maritornes' figure, grotesque, is absolutely masterly; this kind of images were not in keeping with Carteret and Oldfield's taste, so it was rejected and Vanderbank did not represented this scene (London: Tonson, 1738). Excellent drawing and engraving. |
