| Commentary | Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657), whose basic composition has been copied here.
Don Quixote is ready to descend into Montesinos' cave when a flock of birds and bats surprises him. Sancho and the bachelor's cousin observe him laughing. Illustration without originality. Drawing and engraving are quite acceptable, but with little naturalism. |
