Commentary | Sancho Panza talks to don Quixote, "enchanted" into a cage on an oxcart, about the way to disenchant him; the donkey and Rocinante follow the oxcart; one of the officers of justice escort the cart; and, in the background, the barber, the priest and the other officers.
Good composition and well-resolved perspective depth. Don Quixote's portrait is remarkable. |
