| Commentary | Theatrical and baroque composition; all the characters are situated looking at the viewer and before a big curtain (backdrop).
Centrifugal composition (more movement) where don Quixote is the center and the other figures form a "V". On the right, the innkeeper and others; on the left, Sancho, the broken theater and others. Drawing and engraving are acceptable (good light and shadow effect), but figures are disproportionately small. |
| Notes | 1 - Copy of Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1723) through Picart's copy (La Haye: Hondt, 1746). Both 1746 and 1777 copies with the same vertical format. Both 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). |
