Commentary | Don Quixote, with his back turned on the viewer, attacks one friar of Saint Benedict, who has fallen from his mule.
Friar's glasses look like a mask. Also Sancho Panza and another friar with a parasol. In the background, the carriage of the lady and the Basque (don Quixote's next adventure). Drawing and engraving are quite good. |
