Commentary | Countess Trifaldi shows her beard to don Quixote, amazing him and Sancho.
The composition is created with gestures and looks: the Duchess orders two maidens to be quiet; the Duke laughs; Sancho's surprised; don Quixote's astonished. Trifaldín's figure is very remarkable, although he should hold a scimitar, not a mace. Well-detailed drawing engraving; good expressions. |
Notes | 1 - Photomechanical copy (deficient) of the illustration appeared in Amsterdam/Leipzig: Arkstée & Merkus, 1755.
