| Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote aims his sword against the Knight of the Mirrors, fallen defeated on the ground.
In the background, Tomé Cecial takes off his fake big nose before Sancho Panza. Well-known scene; not too many differences in comparison with previous illustrations of this chapter. Foreground figures of great quality. The engraving seems too much dark. |
