Commentary | Alonso Quijano talks about chivalry novels to the barber, maese Nicolás, and the priest.
Scene resolved with great naturalism; don Quixote, standing up and holding a book, with gesture of discussing with the barber about which one is the best knight (barber's gesture is remarkable too); the priest observes don Quixote. Acceptable engraving. |
Notes | 1 - Acceptable copy after Tony Johannot's illustration for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
