Commentary | On the left, the group of the three peasant girls; on the right, don Quixote and Sancho, both knelt down.
Sancho introduces one of the peasant girls as the enchanted Dulcinea while holds the reins of her donkey. In the background, El Toboso and its church. Well-known composition; almost an inverted copy after Vanderbank (London: Tonson, 1738). Acceptable drawing and engraving for this small size format; the background is badly-resolved. |
Notes | 1 - Good and inverted copy in a small size format after Antonio Carnicero's illustration for Madrid: Ibarra, 1780.
2 - Placed as frontispiece for volume IV. 3 - Tomes III and IV are bound together in vol. II in Cushing copy. 4 - The plate is unsigned; the engraver may be François Marie Isidore Queverdo or Joseph Perdoux. |
