| Commentary | Well-accurate composition to Cervantes' text, but not the setting.
Don Quixote observes one of the dances in Camacho's wedding. "También le pareció bien otra que entró de doncellas hermosísimas [...]. Guiábalas un venerable viejo y una anciana matrona [...]. Hacíales el són una gaita zamorana" (20:2). Drawing and engraving are acceptable, but not too much detailed (see don Quixote and Sancho's faces). |
| Notes | 1 - Copy of Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724) through Jacob van der Schley's copy (La Haye: Hondt, 1746). Both 1746 and 1777 copies with the same vertical format. Both c. 1724 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). |
