| Commentary | Don Quixote with the barber basin and mounted on Rocinante. Sancho embracing his donkey. Well-defined iconography.
On the left pedestal, "AMADIS"; on the right one, "ROLANDO". Both as classical statues. Above, a medallion with Dulcinea's portrait. Drawing and engraving are acceptable, but poor. |
