| Commentary | Two different scenes in the same plate (archaic):
In the foreground, Sancho's blanketing is observed by don Quixote from behind the inn wall. In the background, don Quixote fighting with a flock of sheep. Simple composition that will be used until the 20th century. Drawing and engraving are quite acceptable. |
