Commentary | At night, Altisidora visits don Quixote in his room, where it is also Sancho.
Pellicer has resolved the scene with realism and reproducing all the details from Cervantes' text (Altisidora's clothes, her stick...), but the result is quite cold, without anykind of the humour that the text has. Drawing and engraving are excellent. |
