| Commentary | In the foreground, it is supposed to be the bojiganga stealing Sancho's donkey.
In the middle ground, the cart with actors of Angulo el Malo's company (Devil, Death, Cupid, Angel, Emperor, Queen and Knight or Soldier). On the left, Sancho running(?) to help don Quixote (background); the knight should appear falling from Rocinante. Drawing and engraving done to look archaic. |
| Notes | 1 – Copied after the illustration for Barcelona: Juan Jolis, 1755 (and 1762), copied after Madrid: Antonio Sanz, 1735, badly copied after Diego de Obregón’s illustration (Madrid: Andrés García de la Iglesia, 1674).
2 - The action is quite clearer in the original illustrations. |
