| Commentary | Well-known scene since Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724), who illustrated this episode in a very accurate and detailed way.
Johannot preferred a wider composition with a larger number of figures, so they are not as detailed as Coyple's but the main characters can be recognized: don Quixote observing the performance (left), Wealth's retinue (foreground), Love's retinue running away from Wealth (right foreground) and Love firing his arrow at the castle (right background). |
| Notes | 1 - Very poor process reproduction of illus. published in Madrid: Gaspar y Roig, 1847 (and later reprints) after Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
