| Commentary | Cervantes in his prison in Argamasilla de Alba imagining don Quixote's story.
In the background, as a scene imagined by Cervantes, don Quixote wearing the barber basin on his head and mounted on Rocinante and Sancho saddling up his donkey. Original illustration; Cervantes' figure has been drawn and engraved with detail. |
| Notes | 1 - The engraver's signature is quite illegible, but it seems to be Manchón's.
2 - Copied after Mariano de la Roca y Delgado's painting (1858). |
