Don Quixote appears with a gesture of victory and clemency too.
The engraving in women's dresses (see shading and pleats) is quite remarkable.

| Commentary | Gilbert, with certain originallity, did not choose the well-known fight between don Quixote and the Basque, but this later moment; tha Basque Lady asks don Quixote not tu hurt the defeated Basque (lying almost dead behind don Quixote).
Don Quixote appears with a gesture of victory and clemency too. The engraving in women's dresses (see shading and pleats) is quite remarkable. |
| Notes | 1 - Excellent and highly-detailed copy after Gilbert's illustration (London: Charles Daly, 1842 and London: Bohn, 1842). |
