Don Quixote, The Noces De Gamache: An Unmounted Painted Fan Leaf, with a scene from the second part of the Cervantes novel, published in 1615 (Part 1 having been published in 1605). Quiteria, whose lover is Basilio, is promised in marriage to the wealthy but unattractive Camacho, (Gamache). In the plain gorge section, the leaf is annotated ''Ruse qu'employera Basile pour épouser Quitterie aux noces de Gamache'', the scene showing Basile and Gamache meeting at the wedding after Basile has feigned death. The reserves show a feast in preparation in a country kitchen with game and a huge cooking pot, with perhaps Don Quixote's manservant Sanchez tasting food from a saucepan. To the left, musicians on an elevated platform, and young ladies, one with her dog, watching the bridal scene with emotion. The verso is plain. Bottom right leaf width approx. 6.5 inches or 16.5cm. Central depth approx. 7 inches or 18cm. The novel was first adapted for Ballet in 1740 in Vienna, with further subsequent versions. The Noces de Gamanche was created by Louis Milton in 1801 for the Paris Opera, revolving around the lovers and not around Don Quixote..
