Commentary | Sancho accepts to be don Quixote's squire; both figures appears in the middle of a very realistic and daily village scene (a woman dressing a child, hens and chickens, children playing with a donkey, pigs...), creating a very good contrast between don Quixote and Sancho's "unreal" conversation and the reality that surrounds them.
Drawing and engraving are excellent. |

2 - "Este prurito de documentación real y directa, que constituye otra de las múltiples novedades del Romanticismo, campea en toda la obra; no con fidelidad de mera copia, sino como base en que amarrar sólidamente el vuelo de la fantasía. [...] Doré presenta a Don Quijote en una actitud y con indumentaria que recuerdan inmediatamente el famoso retrato de Carlos V, pintado por Tiziano, que hoy figura en el Museo del Prado" (GG230-233). |
