Commentary | Don Quixote attacking Maese Pedro's theater and puppets; his servant, who was telling Melisendra's story, crouches down to protect himself while other inn guests run away alarmed.
Well-known scene, but resolved with Vierge's masterly style; detailed figures, gestures and expressions. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. |
