Commentary | Don Quixote, unarmed, leaves Barcelona to return to his village; Sancho follows him with his donkey, carrying don Quixote's armor.
Remarkable image of don Quixote, sad, melancholic, defeated. Notice that Vierge has chosen a very austere landscape to focus the viewer's attention only on don Quixote. Vierge's style is masterly; his short and fine drawing lines imitate etching. |
