Don Quixote's position is quite forced.
Pellicer represents the scene with absolute realism; the boy holding the stick is very remarkable.
Notice Sancho's figure, in the foreground and with his back turned on the viewer.

| Commentary | Pellicer has not chosen the well-known moment (and more humorous) of don Quixote attacking the theater, but just the previous one when he stands up and begins to shout to the puppets.
Don Quixote's position is quite forced. Pellicer represents the scene with absolute realism; the boy holding the stick is very remarkable. Notice Sancho's figure, in the foreground and with his back turned on the viewer. |
| Notes | 1 - It has been used a variety of chromolithography known as oleography to imitate an oil painting. |
