Commentary | Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657); Johannot has limited the scene to don Quixote, ready to attack, and the lion in his cage; neither Sancho, nor don Diego, nor the carter, nor the lionkeeper appear.
Scene with little novelty. |
Notes | 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
