| Commentary | Three different scenes in the same plate (archaic):
In the background, the first one: don Quixote attacks the windmills while Sancho tries to stop him. In the middle ground, the second one: Sancho is beaten by the Benedictine monks' servants. In the foreground, don Quixote fights with the Basque, while a Basque lady observes them from her carriage. The Basque holding a stool is not accurate to Cervantes' text; it should be a cushion. Acceptable engraving. |
