Commentary | Don Quixote mounted upon Rocinante and Sancho on his donkey; both perfectly characterized.
Don Quixote as a knight errant, with the basin on his head and a lance-pennant (as Knight of the Lions; detail taken from the second part). Sancho with a whip and his sword. In the background, a wind-mill. Don Quixote's iconography is already clearly and well-established. A pedestal with the title has been included in such a way that the whole representation seems an equestrian classical sculpture. |
