Commentary | Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657), but now it has been reduced to three basic characters; Sancho Panza goes to help don Quixote (fallen with Rocinante in the background), while the bojiganga steals his donkey.
Sancho's figure looks like a child. |
Notes | 1 - Extra-illustration taken from set by Smirke for London: Cadell & Davies, 1818 and included in this unique copy (not in the edition).
