Title Caption | Sancho, lüstern nach der seinem Herrn wiederfahrnen Ehre des Bartwaschens, bittet sich dieselbe auch aus, wird aber von dem Küchengesinde des Herzogs so übel bedient, dass er, um sich vor ihren unreinen Spülwasser zu retten, mit einem Schmierlappen statt des Barbiertuchs um den Hals, von einer Menge Küchenjungen verfolgt, in den herzoglichen Zimmern Schutz sucht. |

Commentary | Sancho is persecuted by Duke's servants who want to wash his beard with dirty water; the squire runs away looking for the Duchess' help.
Superb setting and composition; well-represented movement. On the left, the composition is opened with a deep perspective, but the light comes from the opposite side. Plate of great quality; excellent drawing, engraving, composition and setting. |
