| Commentary | Don Quixote tries to fit the barber basin on his head, while Sancho saddles his donkey up with the conquered packsaddle.
In the background, the defeated barber flees away leaving his mule fallen. Accurate details in the background: fulling mills and rain. Drawing with some notable faults (Rocinante), but not bad as a whole; deficient inking/printing; the plate seems worn. |
