| Commentary | Well-known episode since Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724), but now it has been represented in a later instant (certain originality).
Don Quixote holds Micomicona's hand (Dorotea), already standing up, and orders Sancho to bring his arms (hung on a tree); the barber appears disguised as Micomicona's squire. Neither the priest nor Cardenio appear hidden. Quite acceptable engraving as a whole. |
