| Commentary | Accurate to Cervantes' text, the innkeeper, holding a sword and a book, knights don Quixote, knelt before him.
Doña Tolosa (figure of great beauty) holds don Quixote's sword and doña Molinera a shield (it should be the spurs). It also appears the boy with a candle. The other two women (the one next to a well is remarkable), do not belong to Cervantes' text. Drawing and engraving of excellent quality; female figures of great beauty; precise burin lines. |
