| Commentary | Don Quixote's penance at Sierra Morena; don Quixote decides not to imitate Beltenebros' penance, so he does not get undressed and writes some love poems to Dulcinea over the trees; he also makes a rosary; "Y sirviéronle de rosario unas agallas grandes de un alcornoque que ensartó, de que hizo un diez" (26:1). His helmet appears abandoned on bottom left corner.
