| Commentary | In the foreground, as an intimist scene, don Quixote, sat on his bed, talks to the priest and the barber.
Don Quixote and priest's gestures are highly-remarkable and theatrical. In the background, the housekeeper and the niece. Interest in dialogues. First representation of this episode. Drawing and engraving are excellent. |
