Commentary | Doña Rodríguez visits don Quixote in his room during the night.
Accurate to Cervantes' text, doña Rodríguez holds a candle and wears a pair of spectacles; don Quixote, in bed, wrapped in a blanket and bandaged. Doña Rodríguez should look older. The illustration lacks any kind of comical sense. The parchment on the wall is the same from Clavileño's episode. Well-drawn and detailed figures; very remarkable shading. |
