In the foreground, Sancho's blanketing at the courtyard of Juan Palomeque's inn, while, from the background, don Quixote observes him. The quality of this illustration is due to the richness of details (see saint Jacob´s image, pilgrim's patron) and the diversity of gestures. Drawing and engraving are excellent (see Sancho's figure); more realistic than Coypel's designs. Trémolières' style is very close to Vanderbank or Van der Gucht's English styles. The figure of Maritornes (in the foreground with a bucket) has been copied from Coypel´s illustration "Don Quichotte attaché a une fenestre par la malice de Maritorme" (included in this copy). |
Notes | 1 - Wrongly-placed in chapter 16:1; it belongs to 17:1.
2 - The plate has no indications. It may be a copy after Aubert's engraving (Paris: chez Dupuis, c. 1733-39). 3 - Ashbee (art. 25) considers it as part of Gerard van der Gucht's set (London: since 1725). 4 - Schley engraved it again in a vertical format for La Haye: Hondt, 1746. |
