Commentary | In the right foreground, Juan Haldudo lashing Andrés; on the left, don Quixote arrives riding Rocinante (idealized image).
The figures of Andrés and Juan haldudo are remarkable, with excellent drawing and engraving (see shading in Andrés' body; excellent figure). highly-detailed engraving (see trees, shading in clouds...). Rocinante's movement is forced. |
