| Commentary | In the foreground, the priest and the barber talking with don Quixote to discover whether or not he is still mad.
In the background, the housekeeper and the niece; also don Quixote's arms hanged on the wall. Good drawing and engraving; very clean print. Theatrical setting with a great curtain on the right. The priest's figure, resolved with good naturalism, is quite remarkable. |
