Commentary | Roque Guinart, in the center of the composition, punishes one of his bandits for protesting.
Don Quixote, Sancho, the captured pilgrims and soldiers and other bandits observe the scene. Vanderbank's illustration is less cruel than Cervantes' description. In the text, "Roque, echándose mano a la espada, le abrió la cabeza casi en dos partes iguales, diciéndole: de esta manera castigo yo a los deslenguados, y atrevidos" (60:2). Drawing and engraving are masterly; illustration of excellent quality; Guinart's figure is especially remarkable. |
