Commentary | Don Quixote, reading chivalry books in his library, becomes mad (see his gesture and eyes).
Forced position and gesture. Details from the text: arms abandoned at a corner, the skinny greyhound... Interest in a realistic setting (period clothes and furniture). Good drawing and engraving, but the plate seems worn (or deficient printing/preservation). |
Notes | 1 - Copy after José del Castillo's illustration for Madrid: Ibarra, 1780. |
