Commentary Don Vicente, held by one of his servants, dies before Claudia Jerónima and Roque Guinart; dramatic and romantic scene in keeping with Romanticism taste.
The composition of the scene is excellent.
Don Vicente's figure is especially good, very emotive.
Claudia Jerónima, dressed in man clothes, is not expressive enough according to Cervantes' description: "rompió los aires con suspiros, hirió los cielos con quejas, maltrató sus cabellos, entregándolos al viento, afeó su rostro con sus propias manos, con todas las muestras de dolor y sentimiento que de un lastimado pecho pudieran imaginarse" (60:2).
