Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote fallen on the ground and beaten by a groom of the silk merchants; the groom beats don Quixote with his own broken lance.
In the background, the group of silk merchants (holding parasols accurate to Cervantes' text); several ordering the groom to stop. Drawing and engraving are very remarkable; good and detailed illustration. |
Notes | 1 - Process reproduction of Pinelli's etching for Roma: R. Gentilucci, 1833-34.
