The setting is excellent; the detailed Gothic courtyard is a copy of the one in Generalitat Palace (Barcelona).
Along the galleries, cheering servants and "dueñas"; remarkable composition.
Drawing and engraving are masterly.

| Commentary | At the Duke's palace, two lackeys, richly dressed, help don Quixote to dismount; also the Duchess and Sancho.
The setting is excellent; the detailed Gothic courtyard is a copy of the one in Generalitat Palace (Barcelona). Along the galleries, cheering servants and "dueñas"; remarkable composition. Drawing and engraving are masterly. |
