| Commentary | The innkeeper seizing don Quixote to prevent him from attacking the wineskins.
Accurate to Cervantes' text, don Quixote appears asleep, holding his sword and his arm wrapped with a blanket. Sancho, astonished, the priest, barber, Dorotea and other observe the scene. Well-known scene, but Cruikshank's personal drawing style is very remarkable. |
