| Commentary | Well-balanced composition with two different scenes:
The first one in the foreground: don Quixote and Sancho kneel down before one peasant girl introduced by Sancho as the enchanted Dulcinea; also two more peasant girls. The second scene in the background: the three peasant girls run away and one of them falls from her donkey, showing her ass (humorous). The same basic composition will be used until the 20th century. |
