Don Quixote and Sancho kneel down before three peasant girls mounted on donkeys. Sancho holds enchanted Dulcinea's donkey reins and don Quixote tries to kiss her foot. The three peasant girls are represented as French maidens. Baroque landscape including a lake with fishermen (very different from La Mancha landscape); well-detailed engraving. |
