| Commentary | The housekeeper, with a forced gesture of sorrow, and the niece taking care of don Quixote, exhausted.
Austere setting, but effective (abandoned arms, the greyhound, painting of the Holy Family and saint John...). Don Quixote's figure, almost dying, is remarkable. Print of quality. |
