Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho, both in a boat in river Ebro, arrive to a mill, where some millers try to prevent the boat from crashing into the wheel mill.
Don Quixote, believing the millers to be ghosts, draws his sword against them; meanwhile, Sancho prays. Drawing and engraving of unequal quality; don Quixote's figure is quite remarkable, with good gesture, movement and expression. |
