| Commentary | In the foreground, Sancho beaten by the grooms of the Benedictine Monks.
Meanwhile, in the background (right), don Quixote is talking with a pair of Basque ladies traveling in a carriage; on the left, the Benedictine monks? fleeing away. The representation of Sancho is quite little conventional; also the costumes of the grooms and the monks. Remarkable use of etching to contrast figures in foreground and background. |
