| Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote and Rocinante both have fallen on the ground; Sancho arrives to help him.
In the background, the bojiganga stealing Sancho's donkey; also the cart with actors of Angulo El Malo's company disguised to perform Las Cortes de la Muerte (Devil, Death, Cupid, Angel, Emperor, Queen and Soldier/Knight). Drawing and engraving are quite acceptable. |
