| Commentary | Don Quixote tries to make peace between Sancho and the barber, who were fighting for the packsaddle; don Quixote holds the barber basin (Mambrino's helmet).
From the whole group, don Quixote's figure is quite remarkable, strong, firm and dignified (see the good engraving in his face). Surrounding them, from left to right, don Fernando and his companions, the barber Nicolás and the priest. Good drawing and engraving; remarkable expressions. |
