| Commentary | Two different scenes in the same plate:
In the foreground, don Quixote and Sancho, falling from his donkey, are attacked by the braying mayors squadron members. Lances are multiplied to suggest agitation and a more numerous group. In the background, don Quixote and Sancho running away. Taking into consideration the number of figures, different positions and gestures, the plate is acceptable. |
| Notes | 1 - Same plate by Bouttats first used for Amberes: Verdussen, 1672 - 1673. |
