The specific characters are not recognizable (don Quixote, Sancho, don Fernando, the innkeeper, officers of the Holy Brotherhood, don Luis, his servants...), but the general mess-effect is worth-noting.

| Commentary | Despite being a well-known scene, Touchet has resolved it with great originality; notice the point of view used (from an upper gallery) and many of the comical details included (one character on a donkey kicking, other with his trousers torn and showing his ass, several men fighting and trampling a pig....).
The specific characters are not recognizable (don Quixote, Sancho, don Fernando, the innkeeper, officers of the Holy Brotherhood, don Luis, his servants...), but the general mess-effect is worth-noting. |
