| Commentary | Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657), whose basic composition has been copied.
In the foreground, don Quixote ready to fight with the lion, which still remains into the cage; over it, the lion-keeper opening the gate. In the background, Sancho Panza and don Diego de Miranda running away. Drawing and engraving of little quality, but acceptable. |
