Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote lying on the ground "defeated" by a windmill; meanwhile, Sancho arrives from the background to help him.
In the background, two Dutch windmills. Free and quick drawing/engraving style, as sketched; in keeping with Romanticism taste; notice Rocinante's figure. |
