Commentary | Action following a diagonal from the right background (don Quixote attacking the barber) to the left foreground (the barber falling down towards the viewer.
In the upper left corner, Sancho alarmed. Interesting caricature drawing (good representation of don Quixote's folly). Remarkable hand-colored print (with the exception of some parts in yellow). |
