Commentary | Scene resolved with a basic composition.
Don Quixote (right) and Sancho (left) fall on their knees before three peasant girls mounted on donkeys. Sancho seizes enchanted Dulcinea's donkey reins and don Quixote tries to kiss her foot. The three peasant girls are represented as French maidens. Baroque landscape including a lake with fishermen (very different from La Mancha´s landscape). Drawing and engraving are acceptable, but not to much detailed. |
Notes | 1 - Copy of Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30) through Picart's copy (La Haye: Hondt, 1746). Both 1746 and 1777 copies with the same vertical format. Both c. 1728 and 1777 illustrations with the same composition; in 1746 it is turned.
2 - In Cushing's copy, tomes III and IV are bound together (volume II). |
