| Commentary | Basic and conventional composition, but enriched with Coypel´s bucolic and galant style.
Two different scenes: In the foreground, the priest, the barber and Cardenio discover Dorotea (in man clothes), who is washing her feet into a stream. In the background, Sancho tries to convince don Quixote to leave Sierra Morena. Excellent engraving (see beaming water). |
| Notes | 1 - Illustration signed in 1745.
2 - Copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1735-38). The composition has been turned and the format now is vertical, so Schley has enlarged the trees. |
