| Commentary | This scene alludes to what Sancho tells to the priest and the barber about how he had found don Quixote; "desnudo en camisa, flaco, amarillo y muerto de hambre, y suspirando por su señora Dulcinea; y [...] que estaba determinado de no parecer ante su fermosura hasta que hobiese hecho hazañas que le hiciesen digno de su gracia" (29:1).
Liking for scenes without too many characters. Don Quixote and Sancho's gestures are remarkable. Good use of different kind of engraving: burin in figures (see gleams in don Quixote's armour and shirt), etching in details (landscape) and stipple (faces). |
| Notes | It has not been placed where its reference indicates ("Page 27").
Newly engraved by Sisco for Paris: Renouard, 1820. |
