| Commentary | After having defeated the Basque (fallen in the background while three Basque ladies take care of him), don Quixote is asked by Sancho for the government of his island; the knight tells Sancho that he must wait (see don Quixote's hand).
Don Quixote and Sancho's figures are well-detailed drawn and engraved; their gestures and faces are very remarkable. |
