Commentary | Fith reference to the discourse of don Quixote about the ideal knight; "Y aquella noche se despedirá, de su señora la Infanta, por las rejas de un jardín, que cae en el aposento donde ella duerme, por las cuales ya otras muchas veces la había hablado, siendo medianera y sabedora de todo, una doncella de quien la Infanta mucho se fiaba" (21;1).
Good example of Johannot's interest in illustrating don Quixote's fantasies, in keeping with Romanticism liking. |
