| Commentary | Sancho Panza, in the center of the composition, gesticulates while three servants, by Pedro Recio's order, take off the most delicious dishes.
Pedro Recio is dressed in a ridiculous manner. Suitable scene for Coypel's style: many servants (forming a semicircle), rich architecture, chandelier, curtains, clothes... Remarkable light and shadow effects. Excellent drawing and engraving. |
