Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote defeats the first of the soldiers; in the background, Sancho Panza and the galley slaves observe them.
Some details are acceptable (fallen horse), but, as a whole, drawing and engraving are clumsy. |
Notes | Strange detail: behind the head of Rocinate, it appears the head of a little child in one figure's arms.
Jacques Marchand (Paris, 1769 - ¿?): Designer and engraver. Marchand was specialized in burin engraving, stipple engraving and crayon manner. He was a disciple of the burin engraver François Godefroy (Rouen, 1743 – Paris, 1819). Marchand engraved History scenes and portraits (one of “Napoleon”) and, between 1798 and 1810, he exposed at the Salon (Benezit VII, 163). |
