Commentary | On the left, don Quixote, bandaged and in bed, and doña Rodríguez talking by the light of a candle (accurate to Cervantes' text).
From the right, Altisidora and other Duchess' maidens arrive holding their shoes; one of them is almost catching doña Rodríguez. Good detailed setting (furniture, canopy, clock...). Acceptable drawing and engraving. One anecdotal element: a cat observing a mouse. |
Notes | 1 - Same plate first used for Paris: Compagnie des Libraires, 1732.
2 - Turned copy with a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30). 3 - Very worn plate. |
