Commentary | Don Quixote asks Sancho to stop whipping himself.
Accurate representation. Good drawing and engraving in both figures; Sancho's one is remarkable. "Acudió Don Quijote luego al son de la lastimada voz y del golpe del riguroso azote, y asiendo del torcido cabestro que le servía de corbacho a Sancho, le dijo: No permita la suerte, Sancho amigo, que por el gusto mío pierdas tú la vida" (71:2). |
