| Commentary | The bojiganga steals Sancho's donkey while the squire goes to don Quixote's assistance (falling with Rocinante in the background).
In the cart, the actors of Angulo el Malo's disguised to perform Las Cortes de la Muerte (Devil, Cupid, Death, Angel, Emperor, Queen and Soldier); there is one additional player not from Cervantes' text. Acceptable drawing, but poor engraving and printing. |
