| Commentary | In the foreground, Sancho's blanketing observed by don Quixote from behind the inn wall (in the background).
Well-known scene; basic composition used since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657). Good engraving; notice the variety of gestures and movements; Sancho's "flying" figure is quite remarkable. |
| Notes | 1 - Good copy after M. Álvarez' illustration for Madrid: Imprenta de Vega, 1804, which was also a copy after Antonio Rodríguez' illustration for Madrid: Imprenta Real, 1797.
2 - Before this illustration, there were two other plates in 1797 edition: "Escarmienta el valor de Dn. Quixote al osado Vizcaino" and "Presencia y apoya Dn. Quixote la defensa de Marcela, a quien imputaban la muerte de Grisostomo"; they have not been included in 1808 edition. |
