Description: Sancho Panzo (left) returns to Don Quixote (right) having delivered the knight-errant's letter to Dulcinea in Toboso. Don Quixote is in a bad state, having partaken in penance for days on end living off of the herbs and berries scattered throughout the mountain. When Sancho Panza finds him, Quixote is half-dead from hunger and sighing about Dulcinea. Although Sancho Panza tries to convince Quixote to meet Dulcinea he responds that he must first make himself worthy of her presence.
