Commentary | Group of quite remarkable figures; see the contrast among Sancho (very detailed and realistic), the Duchess and her maidens (more stylized and idealized) and doña Rodríguez (with a severe face).
The engraving in the black dress of one maiden is masterly. |
Notes | 1 - Excellent and highly-detailed copy after Gilbert's illustration (London: Charles Daly, 1842 and London: Bohn, 1842). |
