[Grisóstomo's burial and Marcela's appearance]
-
Description
-
Marcela appears on a crag overlooking Grisóstomo’s burial (centre of the composition). Ambrosio, Grisóstomo’s friend, stands near his body, gesturing toward it. He accuses Marcela of causing the death. The narrative diagonal joins these three characters: from Marcela, through Ambrosio’s arm, to Grisóstomo. The figures of a gravedigger to the left and Don Quixote to the right form two verticals to balance the diagonal. The scene is observed by Sancho Panza and several goatherds. Plate no. 9, signed by J. Vanderbank (illustrator) and G. van der Gucht (engraver). Vol. 1, book 2, ch. 6.
