| Commentary | Allegorical representation of don Quixote's first sally.
Don Quixote, with Rocinante, protected by Folly (with the barber basin and a jester scepter) and Love (Cupid holding a torch touching don Quixote's heart and pointing to Dulcinea). Dulcinea appears as a French lady carrying wheat, as Sancho refers in chapter 31:1. In the background, a windmill half-transformed into a giant (8:1) and a flock of sheep with lances (18:1). Very remarkable drawing and engraving. |
