| Commentary | At night, don Quixote hears a strong noise and prepares to begin a new adventure; "don Quijote, acompañado de su intrépido corazón, saltó sobre Rocinante, y, embrazando su rodela, terció su lanzón" (20:1).
Excellent night representation; the engraving has reproduced with great mastery the shadows. Very remarkable image. |
