Commentary | "24. Don Quixote, preguntando al carretero, vestido de demonio, quiénes eran los que conducia en su carreta: el qual le respondio que eran unos comediantes, que vestidos ya de angel, ya de cupido, ya de emperador, ya de reyna, ya de muerte, ya de caballero armado de punta en blanco, venian de representar el Auto de las Cortes de la Muerte. P.II.T.I.p.104" ("Esplicacion de la estampas". Vol. V, p. 432).
The representation of the bojiganga (with three blown bladders) frightening Rocinante in the foreground is not included in the description of the illustration (vol. V, p. 432); the figure of the bojiganga is well drawn and engraved; the "scorzo" of Rocinante is clumsy (it seems disproportionate); don Quixote without expression. |
