| Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote attacking the Basque, who protects himself with a cushion (accurate to Cervantes' text).
In the middle ground, witnessing the main scene, the Basque lady of the carriage, her squires and companions and Sancho (sketched). In the background, one of the Benedictine friars running away. Remarkable group composition, drawing and engraving. |
