Commentary | Third reference to the discourse of don Quixote about the ideal knight; "entrará a deshora, por la puerta de la sala, un feo y pequeño enano, con una hermosa dueña, que entre dos Gigantes, detrás del enano viene, con cierta aventura hecha, por un antiquísimo sabio" (21;1).
Good example of Johannot's interest in illustrating don Quixote's fantasies, in keeping with Romanticism liking. |
