Commentary | Well-known scene; the windmill sail beats don Quixote and Rocinante, throwing them on the plain; in the background, Sancho gesticulates.
The windmills has been designed with a ghostly appearance. Drawing and engraving are excellent, especially to represent don Quixote and Rocinante lifted from the floor and thrown backwards. |
