Commentary | Two different scenes in the same illus.:
In the foreground, don Quixote mounted on Rocinante (its legs tied) and Sancho relieving himself; notice don Quixote's gesture covering his nose. In the background, don Quixote and Sancho discover the fulling mills; Sancho begins to laugh and don Quixote hits him with his lance; after that, it begins to rain. Simple drawing and rough engraving. |
Notes | 1 – Poor copy after Diego de Obregón’s illustration (Madrid: Andrés García de la Iglesia, 1674).
2 - In Obregón's illustration, don Quixote was not mounted on Rocinante (less accurate to Cervantes' text). |
