Commentary | Don Quixote, hanged by his own hand tied to a window of the inn, remains standing on Rocinante while the innkeeper's daughter and Maritornes observe him from the inn courtyard.
Not accurate representation; both girls should appear looking through the window. Drawing and engraving are excellent. |
