| Commentary | Don Quixote's conversation with the Duke and the Duchess is interrupted by Sancho's appearance.
Sancho bursts into the room suddenly followed by several servants that want to wash his beard with dirty water and towels. Drawing and engraving are excellent; detailed and remarkable large size figures; notices the hands and gestures of the main characters; only the setting is poor. |
