| Commentary | In the foreground, at night and lighted by a fallen torch, don Quixote aims his lance against Alonso López, one of the ecclesiastics accompanying a dead body (in the background his companions running away).
Sancho observes him holding a chicken; "andaba ocupado desbalijando una acémila de repuesto que traían aquellos buenos señores bien abastecida de cosas de comer" (19:1). Good drawing and engraving. |
