| Commentary | Characters are divided in three groups:
On the right, the main one; surrounding the enchanted head (as a Roman bust), don Quixote thoughtful, Sancho astonished, don Antonio and two friends. On the left, in the foreground and in the background, two more groups that balance the composition. Detailed representation of a 18th century bourgeois French house (paintings, furniture, sculptures, carpets...). Acceptable engraving, but not remarkable. |
