Commentary | Scene imagined by don Quixote: "Debía de estar retirada, entonces -respondió don Quijote-, en algún pequeño apartamiento de su alcázar, solazándose a solas con sus doncellas, como es uso y costumbre de las altas señoras y princesas" (9:2).
Scene resolved in keeping with Romanticism taste; drawing and engraving are of great delicacy (see Dulcinea's figure). |
Notes | 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
