Commentary | Accurate to Cervantes' text, the innkeeper, holding a sword and a book, knights don Quixote, knelt before him.
Doña Tolosa holds don Quixote's sword and doña Molinera a shield (it should be don Quixote's spurs). It also appears the boy with a candle. Two other women (the one next to a well is very remarkable), do not belong to Cervantes' text. Drawing and engraving are acceptable, but poor. |
