| Commentary | Don Quixote and Rocinante, after trying to attack a windmill, remain hooked on the sail and are lift up into the air.
Well-known scene, but resolved with a very original point of view; don Quixote and Rocinante into the air in the foreground and Sancho, on the ground, in the background. The windmills are not Manchegan. Giffey exaggerates the scene, but the result is quite remarkable. Good drawing and coloring. |
