In the background, the barber disguised with a fake beard.
Well-known scene, resolved with little novelty, but with great accuracy.
Good and realistic drawing style imitating a 19th century xylography.

| Commentary | In Sierra Morena, princess Micomicona (Dorotea) kneels before don Quixote begging for his help while Sancho recommends him to do it; "y estando en esto se llegó Sancho Panza al oído de su señor, y muy pasito le dijo: Bien puede vuestra merced, señor, concederle el don que pide, que no es cosa de nada; sólo es matar a un gigantazo" (29:1).
