| Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho mounted on Clavileño while several servants simulate its flight with bellows and torches; one of them has lighted its fuse.
The Duke and Duchess observe the scene. The composition is well-known since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657). Drawing and engraving are quite poor. |
