| Commentary | Reference to captive's tale; accurate to Cervantes' text: "puso su cabeza sobre mi pecho, doblando un poco las rodillas, dando claras señales y muestras que se desmayaba, y yo, ansimismo, di a entender que la sostenía contra mi voluntad. Su padre llegó corriendo adonde estábamos" (41:1).
Orientalist scene in keeping with Romaticism taste; see clothes, setting... Agi Morato's figure is specially remarkable (detailed face and clothes, well-resolved movement...). |
