| Commentary | Above, Cervantes sat and wrote defending books against a dragon (bad literature, chivalric books...).
Aside, Rocinante, Sancho and his donkey. Underneath, don Quixote after defeating a giant; also two banners, one with two hearts pierced through by an arrow (don Quixote's love for Dulcinea) and the other with a lion and a windmill. Original allegorical composition and good engraving. |
