Commentary | At dawn (sun), four travelers (servants of don Luis' father) arrive to the inn and Rocinante moves to smell the mares, making don Quixote fall down and remain hanged by his hand tied to a window.
Drawing and engraving done to look archaic; it does not even look that don Quixote is hanged by his hand. |
