Description
-
After the Duchess has told Don Quixote and Sancho Panza of the tragic enchantment placed on the Countess Trifaldi, doleful music enters the garden and twelve duennas, divided into two files, all clad in black mourning habits, with white veils of thin muslin, so long appeared. Behind them came the Countess Trifaldi, whom squire Trifaldi of the White Beard led by the hand. Upon the appearance of this squadron of duennas, the duke (pictured on the far right), duchess (pictured next to Quixote in a white dress pointing towards the procession), and Don Quixote (pictured in armor with a great feather flying from his helm),looked on from their seats, as did all the rest (notably Sancho Panza who stands behind Quixote) who also beheld this grand procession. The twelve duennas halted and made a lane through which squire Trifaldi was received by the Duchess' company.
