Don Quixote stays still before a cage with a lion ready to fight with the animal, but the lion remains into the cage although the lionkeeper has opened it; Sancho, the carter and others run away; behind the cart, don Diego de Miranda, Knight of the Green Coat.
Illustration of masterly quality; highly-detailed drawing and exquisite engraving; notice that every color requires a different wooden block; perfect printing.
Remarkable and detailed setting too. |
