Commentary | Don Quixote standing ready to fight against a lion, but the animal, although the lionkeeper has opened the cage, remains into it and turns about presenting its hind-quarters to don Quixote.
In the right background, Sancho, don Diego de Miranda and the carter moving away at a safe distance. Well-known scene and composition. Well-resolved figures and good coloring. |
