| Commentary | Don Quixote, asleep and with a blanket around his left arm, attacks the wineskins; the innkeeper, the priest, Sancho, Cardenio and the barber enter into the room.
Well-known and often illustrated scene; now, it is remarkable the realism with which it has been represented (clothes, room...). Light and shadow effects are remarkable (from innkeeper's lamp); notice the contrast between don Quixote, well-lighted, and the innkeeper, in shade. Drawing and engraving are acceptable, but with light faults. |
