| Commentary | The innkeeper helps don Quixote to drink with a cane through his helmet visor; also doña Molinera and doña Tolosa.
The realism of the setting is remarkable (see clothes, architecture...) and the carefully-done engraving too. Print with a good humorous tone (see don Quixote's face, the innkeeper...). Good drawing and engraving. |
