| Commentary | Three servants of the Duke takes Sancho out of a pit; don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, observes him.
This episode becomes symbolic when a student (right) exclaims: "De esta manera habían de salir de sus Gobiernos todos los malos Gobernadores, como sale este pecador del profundo del abismo, muerto de hambre, descolorido, y sin blanca a lo que creo" (55:2). First representation of this episode. The main figures with excellent and detailed drawing and engraving. |
