Commentary | The illustration does not follow Cervantes' original text (don Quixote does not descend into the pit), but Barret's adapted (and quite free) translation; Rocinante, with don Quixote mounted on him, comes slithering down the steep slope at the mouth of the cave.
Good drawing style (quick and expressive sketching lines). |
