| Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote and Sancho mounted on Clavileño (like an unicorn due to the peg); several servants simulate its flight with bellows and fires; one of them is lighting its fuse.
Notice the lance with a parchment that announces the end of the adventure (right). In the background, the Duke and the Duchess observe the scene. Drawing and engraving are acceptable, but with light disproportions. |
| Notes | 1 - Copy after London: Hodgkin, 1687 with a new vertical format; the night effect of the original is lost.
