Commentary | Don Quixote, after falling from Rocinante to the ground when trying to attack a group of silk merchants (background), is beaten by one of their grooms, who also breaks his lance (foreground).
Well-known scene, resolved with little novelty. Good and realistic drawing style imitating a 19th century xylography. |
