| Commentary | Well-known episode since Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724), but now it has been represented in a later instant (certain originality).
Don Quixote holds Micomicona's hand (Dorotea), already standing up, and orders Sancho to bring his arms (hanged on a tree); the barber appears disguised as Micomicona's squire. Small format, but drawing and engraving are excellent (see Sancho and Micomicona's faces and don Quixote's gesture). Neither the priest nor Cardenio appear hidden. |
