Commentary | Don Quixote, reading chivalry books at his library, becomes mad; notice the expression of his face and eyes.
Books and arms (shield, sword...) all around the room. Remarkable quick drawing style, like sketching; good engraving. |
Notes | 1 - Telory's style is quite in keeping with Tony Johannot's (Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37). |
