| Commentary | Original choice and very accurate representation; doña Rodríguez and her daughter kneel down before don Quixote asking for his help; their figures, totally covered by black cloaks (we only see doña Rodríguez's appealing hands), are very remarkable (perfectly shaded); also the Duke, the Duchess and two servants.
Good use of engraving (see fine burin lines in don Quixote and Duchess' figures). |
| Notes | It has been placed f.p. 149 (in vol. IV, chapter XVI of this edition or 48:2), because the print includes this reference, but it is wrong; the reference should be "Page 194" (in vol. IV, chapter XX of this edition or 52:2). |
