| Commentary | Well-known scene since Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724), but now it has been represented in a later instant (certain originality).
Don Quixote holds Princess Micomicona's hand (Dorotea), already standing up, and orders Sancho to bring his arms (hanged on a tree); the barber disguised as Micomicona's squire. Neither the priest nor Cardenio appear hidden. Drawing and engraving are acceptable. |
| Notes | 1 - Copy with fewer details after Lefebvre's illustration (Paris: Didot-Deterville, 1799); also previously copied by Bigant for Paris: Chez Gide, 1806 and Paris: H. Nicolle, 1809 and by Macret for Paris: Briand, 1810.
2 - Same plate first engraved for Paris: Renouard, 1812. |
