Commentary | Don Quixote's first sally allegorical representation.
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, protected by Folly (with the basin and a jester scepter) and Love (Cupid holding a torch touching don Quixote's heart and pointing to Dulcinea). Dulcinea appears as a French Lady carrying wheat, as Sancho refers in chapter 31:1. In the background, a windmill half-transformed into a giant (8:1) and a flock of sheep with lances (18:1). Drawing and engraving are excellent (just some light disproportions in Folly's figure and Rocinante). |
Notes | 1 - Placed as a frontispiece.
2 - Jean Daullé signs as J. D. 3 - Turned and masterly copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724). It may belong to some French set engraved after 1744, when Surugue's privilege expired, or after Coypel's death (1752). 4 - Print included in Cushing's extra-illustrated copy of John Bowle's edition (Salisbury: 1781). |
