Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote ready to fight with the lion, still into the cage although the lionkeeper has opened the gate; also Rocinante.
In the background, Sancho, don Diego de Miranda and the carter running away. Drawing and engraving are poor and especially bad in some details (Rocinante, lion...). |
