Doré shows the scene with a comical realism (the stable, the cows, the innkeeper's expression...).
Good drawing.

| Commentary | At the inn stable, don Quixote kneels down before the innkeeper (as if he was the lord of the castle) and begs him to knight him.
Doré shows the scene with a comical realism (the stable, the cows, the innkeeper's expression...). Good drawing. |
