| Commentary | Two different scenes (archaic):
The first one, in the background: don Quixote fights with the muleteers during the vigil of his arms. The second one, in the foreground: don Quixote is knighted by the innkeeper while doña Molinera fits his spurs and doña Tolosa his sword. The boy holding a candle that appears in Cervantes' text is missing here. Drawing and engraving are quite good. |
