In the background, the funeral procession companions holding tapers and torches; some of them flee away.
Drawing and engraving are quite acceptable.
Alonso López's figure, falling from his mule, is remarkable.

| Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote after defeating Alonso López, fallen with his mule; Sancho observes the scene.
In the background, the funeral procession companions holding tapers and torches; some of them flee away. Drawing and engraving are quite acceptable. Alonso López's figure, falling from his mule, is remarkable. |
| Notes | 1 – Copy after Clouzier's engraving (Paris: Compagnie des Libraires, 1700) after Bouttats' illustration for Amberes: Verdussen, 1672-73; don Quixote's figure has been moved backwards, so now he is attacking another ecclesiastic, not Alonso López. |
