In the foreground, don Quixote and Sancho mounted on Clavileño; two servants simulate its flight with bellows and torchs; another servant is lighting its fuse.
In the background, under a rich tent, the Duke and the Duchess observe the scene.
This composition will be used without many changes until the 20th century.
Drawing and engraving are poor in details. |
