| Commentary | In a Versailles kind garden (baroque architectures, hedges, one "terminus"...), don Quixote and Sancho are mounted on Clavileño blindfolded, while several servants simulate its flight with pairs of bellows and torches; one of them has lighted its fuse.
The Duke and Duchess observe the scene. The composition is well-known from Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657), but now it has been enriched. Drawing and engraving are acceptable; light and shadow effects are good. |
| 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). 3 - Wrongly-placed f.p. 96; it should be f.p. 69. |
