Commentary | Don Quixote shaved by one of the Duchess' maidens before the Duke and the Duchess.
The illustration refers to the moment when the Duchess' maidens soap and wash don Quixote's beard, but Cervantes says nothing about shaving. Good drawing and coloring. |
Notes | 1 - Signed and dated in "03" (1903).
2 - The title caption refers to a part invented by the translator, Paul Lefévre-Géraldy, when the Duke asks don Quixote to talk to them about Sancho. |
