| Commentary | This scene alludes to what Sancho tells to the priest and the barber about how he had found don Quixote; "desnudo en camisa, flaco, amarillo y muerto de hambre, y suspirando por su señora Dulcinea; y [...] que estaba determinado de no parecer ante su fermosura hasta que hobiese hecho hazañas que le hiciesen digno de su gracia" (29:1).
Liking for scenes without too many characters. Don Quixote and Sancho's gestures are remarkable. Good drawing and engraving. |
| Notes | 1 - Good copy after Richard Westall's illustration for London: Hurst, Robinson & Co., 1820; Sisco has eliminated Rocinante. |
