Commentary | Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, puts the barber basin on his head while Sancho observes him astonished.
In the background, the barber running away. Well-known scene and traditional composition; it has been resolved with expressive drawing/engraving (with light disproportions too; notice the donkey and Rocinante), but very effective. |
