| Commentary | Don Quixote, standing, aims his sword against the Knight of the Mirrors' face (Sansón Carasco), defeated on the ground.
In the background, the Knight of the Mirrors' squire (Tomé Cecial), running towards don Quixote to stop him, and Sancho, still climbed a tree. Well-known scene, with little novelty, but good illustration. |
