| Commentary | Alonso Quijano, reading chivalric books at his library, becomes mad (don Quixote); arms and books all around the room.
Also in the illustration, three medallions with Rocinante, Sancho Panza on his donkey, and Dulcinea ("Dulcinée du Toboso"). Remarkable drawing and engraving, but the scene has been resolved with little novelty. |
