Commentary | Don Quixote mounted on Rocinante led by the allegory of Folly (holding a jester scepter) and Cupid (inflaming don Quixote's heart); Sancho follows him mounted on his donkey; in the background, Dulcinea holding a sieve.
Quite acceptable drawing and engraving. |
Notes | 1 - Based on Coypel's illustration (Paris: Suruge, since 1723); some details have been deleted (windmills as giants, flock of sheep with lances), and Sancho has been added. |
