Commentary | Simple composition; don Quixote knelt before the innkeeper, who holds a sword and a book; witnessing the scene, a boy holding a candle and two party girls (doña Tolosa and doña Molinera); figures accurate to Cervantes' text.
Good light and shadow effects. Remarkable drawing and engraving. |
