| Commentary | Excellent portrait of don Diego de Miranda riding his flea-bitten mare; image of great dignity and very accurate to Cervantes' description: "vestido un gabán de paño fino verde, jironado de terciopelo leonado, con una montera del mismo terciopelo; [...] Traía un alfanje morisco pendiente de un ancho tahalí de verde y oro, y los borceguíes eran de la labor del tahalí" (16:2).
Drawing and engraving are very remarkable. |
