Commentary | In the same illustration, there are two actions of different character:
In the foreground, a humorous situation: Sancho Panza falling from the tree (his image is ridiculous and deformed). In the background, a heroic one: don Quixote hunting the wild boar with the Duke and Duchess. Drawing and engraving are poor and with notable disproportions. |
Notes | 1 - Copy after London: Hodgkin, 1687 with a new vertical format.
2 – This basic composition influenced Charles Antoine Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724). |
