| Commentary | In the right foreground, the housekeeper and the niece preventing Sancho from going into the house; also the greyhound.
In the left background, after hearing Sancho's shouts, don Quixote, the barber and the priest go out of the house. Simple composition, but with excellent drawing (see housekeeper and Sancho's figures in tension) and engraving. |
| Notes | 1 - According to its own reference, this illustration is situated in Part II, Book II, Chapter 14, f.p. 189 (of this edition or 31:2), but this reference is wrong. It should be in Part II, Book I, Chapter 2, between pp. 10 and 11 (of this edition or 2:2).
2 - This episode was not represented in London: Tonson, 1738. |
