| Commentary | Reference to Eugenio's tale; Vicente de la Rosa telling his stories to the villagers.
The illustration is excellent, notice the variety of Spanish "tipos", clothes, gestures and expressions, but it is not too much accurate in some details; Cervantes says that Vicente de la Rosa used to seat on a bench under a poplar (here not represented). |
