Commentary | In the center, Governor Sancho, framed by two columns and one large curtain, with the secretary and the majordomo.
At each side, one group of characters (one with the accused man and other with the accusing one). Good and theatrical setting; perfectly-balanced composition. The stolen coins have just been discovered into a walking stick. Drawing and engraving are very acceptable and well-detailed. |
Notes | 1 - Plate XIX.
2 - Surrounded by a strong line enclosing underneath a space for inscription, which however has been left blank. 3 - Copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1731-43); in the original, Sancho was looking at the accused man out of the corner of his eye. 4 - Probably, the copy has been done after the plate for Paris/La Haye: Chez Bleuet, 1774, which has a similar frame and underneath space but with caption. 5 - The plate is not signed. |
