Commentary | Don Quixote mounted on Rocinante, holding his lance and looking at Dulcinea´s bust; also Sancho with his donkey.
In the background, two sculptures (Roland and Amadis). Drawing and engraving are quite remarkable, despite some light disproportions (notice Rocinante's head); fine burin lines. |
