Commentary | In a French court garden, countess Trifaldi shows her beard to don Quixote, amazing him and Sancho.
The composition is created with gestures and looks: the Duchess orders two maidens to be quiet; the Duke laughs; Sancho's surprise; don Quixote's astonishment. Trifaldín's figure is remarkable, although he should hold a scimitar, not a mace. Drawing and engraving are excellent; detailed faces and good gestures (see Duchess and servants). |
