Commentary | Well-known scene; don Quixote, asleep and with a blanket around his arm, draws his sword against the giant Pandafilando (wineskins).
The innkeeper tries to hit don Quixote and the priest and the barber arrive to stop them. Sancho searchs Pandafilando's blood and head on the floor. Theatrical; in the background, a great curtain. Drawing and engraving with little quality. |
Notes | 1 - Turned copy with fewer details after Lefebvre's illustration (Paris: Didot-Deterville, 1799); also previously copied by Bigant for Paris: Chez Gide, 1806 and Paris: H. Nicolle, 1809 and by Macret for Paris: Briand, 1810.
2 - Placed in the upper left corner; it should appear on the right, after "Sancho recovers his donkey". 3 - Placed as frontispiece. 4 - Same plate first engraved for Paris: Renouard, 1812. |
