Commentary | Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
In the foreground, don Quixote, with dignity, and Sancho Panza, frightened and with his back turned on the viewer, mounted on Clavileño (with a peg on its forehead); several servants with fires and bellows simulate Clavileño's flight. In the background, the Duke and Duchess observe them. Remarkable and carefully-done court setting: fountain with sculpture (Venus and Cupid), arbour, moon light... Accurate detail: lance with a parchment "El ínclito Caballero Don Quixote de la Mancha feneció y acabó la aventura de la Condesa Trifaldi, por otro nombre llamada la Dueña Dolorida y compañía con sólo intentarla". Small size illustration with very remarkable drawing and engraving. |
