Commentary Don Quixote, holding a handful of acorns, begins his speech about the Golden Age; Sancho and several goatherds listen to him.
Masterly drawing and engraving and highly-detailed setting; notice the excellent use of light; a hidden bonfire lights up the figures, creating remarkable light and dark effects.
