Commentary | Scene resolved with a basic composition.
Don Quixote and Sancho kneel down before three peasant girls mounted on donkeys. Sancho introduces one of the peasant girls as the enchanted Dulcinea and don Quixote tries to kiss her foot. The three peasant girls are represented as French maidens. Drawing and engraving are poor and deficient. |
Notes | 1 - Plate XI; wrongly-placed in Saint-Martin's Continuation, it should appear in tome II, part II, book V, chap. X.
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. 1728-30). 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. |
