Commentary | The innkeeper's wife and her daughter beg don Quixote to help his husband/father (two guests that did not want to pay are beating him), but don Quixote refuses to do it.
Don Quixote's figure, although he looks more like a real medieval errant knight, is quite remarkable; detailed and well-drawn figures. |
Notes | 1 - Process reproduction of Pinelli's etching for Roma: R. Gentilucci, 1833-34.
