Commentary | Don Quixote observes one of the dances in Camacho's wedding; "También le pareció bien otra que entró de doncellas hermosísimas [...]. Guiábalas un venerable viejo y una anciana matrona [...]. Hacíales el són una gaita zamorana" (20:2).
Well-accurate composition to Cervantes' text, but not the setting. Court scene in keeping with Coypel's French style. Poor engraving, but acceptable. |
Notes | 1 - Copied after Charles-Antoine Coypel's design (Paris: Surugue, since 1723). Probably copied after Johann Michael Eben's engraving (Francfort: Bassompierre, 1757). |
