| Commentary | Great representation of this well-known episode. The Knight of the White Moon (Sansón Carrasco) draws his lance against don Quixote, who lies on the floor defeated.
Johannot has represented the viceroy's figure (or don Antonio's) with a gesture of trying to stop the Knight of the White Moon, but this is not described by Cervantes. In the right background, Rocinante fallen on the ground and Sancho weeping. |
| Notes | 1 - Maybe, Sebastien Desmarets: French engraver who worked since the end of 18th century. He engraved Zar Alexander’s portrait after Nigri (Benezit III, 525). |
