| Commentary | In the foreground, the bojiganga stealing Sancho's donkey; accurate to Cervantes' text, he holds three blown bladders.
In the middle ground, the cart with actors of Angulo el Malo's company disguised to perform Las Cortes de la Muerte (Devil, Death, Cupid, Angel, Emperor, Queen and Knight or Soldier). On the left, Sancho running to help don Quixote (background); the knight is falling from Rocinante. Simple drawing and rough engraving. |
