Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho mounted on Clavileño while several servants simulate its flight with bellows and torches; one of them has lighted its fuse.
The Duke and Duchess observe the scene. The composition is well-known since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657), but now it has been enriched. Drawing and engraving are quite poor. |
Notes | 1 - Same plate also used in Paris: Barrois Ainé, 1777.
