Commentary | Sancho arrives on his donkey (quite calmly) to help don Quixote, lying on the ground defeated by a windmill; on the background, Rocinante lying at the foot of one of the windmills.
Although Lalauze visited Spain, these windmills are not from La Mancha (more Dutch). Excellent drawing and engraving; Sancho's figure is especially remarkable, notice his gestures. |
