Commentary | Reference to captive's tale; accurate to Cervantes' text: "puso su cabeza sobre mi pecho, doblando un poco las rodillas, dando claras señales y muestras que se desmayaba, y yo, ansimismo, di a entender que la sostenía contra mi voluntad. Su padre llegó corriendo adonde estábamos" (41:1).
Orientalist scene in keeping with Romaticism taste; see clothes, setting... Agi Morato's figure is especially remarkable (detailed face and clothes, well-resolved movement...). |
Notes | 1 - From the whole tale of the captive, this is the best known episode and the most previously illustrated (see Vanderbank's illustration in London: Tonson, 1738). |
