Commentary | Great and theatrical setting (Sancho is highlighted before two columns and one curtain).
Perfectly-balanced composition. In the center, Sancho with the secretary and the steward/majordomo. At each side, one group of characters (one with the accused and other with the accusing man). The stolen coins have just been discovered into a walking stick; Sancho looks at the accused man (left) out of the corner of his eye. Large plate of excellent drawing, engraving and shading. Real portraits (old men on the left, Sancho and figures of the right). |
