| Commentary | Theatrical and baroque composition; all the characters are placed 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 left, the innkeeper and others; on the right, Sancho, the broken theater and others. Excellent drawing and engraving; each face is a detailed portrait. Large plate. |
