| Commentary | Don Quixote falls to the ground when Rocinante tumbles frightened by the bojiganga, brandishing a stick with three blown bladders.
In the background, the cart with the actors of Angulo el Malo's company disguised to perform Las cortes de la muerte: Devil, Cupid, Death, Angel, Emperor, Queen and Knight. Scene resolved with Herreros' personal, characteristic and parodic drawing style. |
