Commentary | According to Givanel, Devéria bases his Cervantes' portrait on Choquet's (Paris: Delongchamps, 1824), "un hombre nacido más arriba del Loira"; however, this portrait is still after Castillo's design (Madrid: Ibarra, 1780), and does not look like Cochet's too much.
Engraving of great quality; well-drawn and shaded face. |
