Commentary In the foreground, don Quixote standing ready to fight with the lion while the lionkeeper opens the gate of the cage; in the background, Sancho, don Diego de Miranda and the carter running away.
Accurate to Cervantes' text, the lion with its backs turned on don Quixote; "volvió las espaldas y enseñó sus traseras a don Quijote" (17:2).
