| Commentary | Well-known scene; not too many differences in comparison with previous illustrations of this chapter.
In the foreground, don Quixote aims his sword against the Knight of the Mirrors, defeated and fallen on the ground. In the background, Tomé Cecial takes off his fake big nose before Sancho Panza. Drawing and engraving are quite good; remarkable figures. |
