Burin engraving
From the whole adventure, a comical/ingenious situation was been chosen, not the next crude one (Sancho's mishap).
Drawing and engraving are excellent.

| Commentary | During the night (badly represented), the sound of fulling mills frightens Sancho; the squire decides to tie Rocinante's hind legs to prevent don Quixote from leaving him alone.
From the whole adventure, a comical/ingenious situation was been chosen, not the next crude one (Sancho's mishap). Drawing and engraving are excellent. |
