Commentary | Don Quixote and Rocinante are hit and thrown up by the windmill sail when the knight attacks it despite Sancho's advise; the squire remains in the background.
Well-known scene and composition, but resolved with remarkable realism. Excellent representation of Manchegan light effects, landscape and windmills. Remarkable drawing and coloring. |
