Commentary | When trying to attack a group of silk merchants (not represented), don Quixote falls from Rocinante onto the ground and remains fallen unable to rise.
Original choice; not the well-known later moment when a groom of the merchants beats up don Quixote. Good drawing and pleasant coloring; in keeping with an edition for children. |
