| Commentary | Don Quixote, in bed, is visited by the priest and the barber to check if he is sane or insane.
Notice the barber and priest's gestures and expressions; they are quite remarkable. Good drawing and engraving. In an ornamental and architectural frame with don Quixote's arms (barber basin, sword, lance, shield...); the whole illustration has got a remarkable decorative effect. |
