Commentary | After the adventure with the actors and before the encounter with the Knight of the Mirrors, Cervantes includes a reference to the friendship between Rocinante and the donkey; "después de cansados y satisfechos cruzaba Rocinante su pescuezo sobre el cuello del rucio, que le sobraba de la otra parte más de media vara, y mirando los dos atentamente al suelo, se solía estar de aquella manera tres días" (12:2).
Tender and anecdotal scene; Sancho observes them while don Quixote appears in the background. |
Notes | 1 - Preparatory drawing for Copenhaguen: Fr. Woldikes Forlags, 1865; the final illustration differs. |
