| Commentary | Usual composition in "X":
One line (narrative action) from don Quixote (top left) to the defeated Knight of the Mirrors (bottom right); other line from Sancho (bottom left) to Tomé Cecial taking off his fake nose (top right). The position of the Knight of the Mirrors is forced, not too much natural; idyllic setting (forest). Remarkable engraving. |
