The Barber Reclaiming his Basin from Don Quixote

Artist: Francis Hayman RA (English, 1708-1776)

Date: c. 1765-1770

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, Exeter, England

Description

This painting depicts Don Quixote attempting to convince the frustrated Barber that his basin is Mambrino’s helmet: an impoverished man stands with his arms outstretched, eyes looking skyward. Another man in fine clothes - plumed hat, plush cape and pale blue suit holds the basin/hat. Another man holding a spear and wearing armour prevents a portly man from moving forward. The group of four onlookers includes a priest and someone holding a letter. This scene is taken from the Spanish novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes from 1605.

Re-posting this video my bf took last year - when I saw those two 'darker' patches, I knew I have to get more fabric and replace them. ASA I get the hems finished, I'll have to get him to take a new video.

{PS - I saw more of this fabric at JoAnn's - not sure if it's a new run (it was discontinued) or leftover stock from last year. Now that they have a new sale - I will buy up all the rest that I can!}
