Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote on Rocinante and Sancho on his donkey; Sancho tries to persude him to marry Princess Micomicona (Dorotea).
In the background, Micomicona (Dorotea) talking with the priest. Drawing and engraving are very remarkable; Sancho's figure is especially good; notice also the faces and expressions of both characters. |
