| Commentary | In the foreground, Sancho has fallen on the ground from his donkey after having been beaten by one member of the braying mayors squadron; don Quixote attacking the squadron.
The members of the squadron should not appear running away, but attacking don Quixote. Drawing and engraving are acceptable. |
