Title: [Of how Sancho was Surprised by the Squire of the Woods' Bulbous Nose]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: On the dawn of Don Quixote's duel with the Knight of the Woods, both squires meet under a tree with morsels to see who of their masters is superior. The Squire of the Woods (left) sits against a rock with a loaf of bread by his head, he is wearing a feathered cap and standard squire apparel, but his (fake) nose is gargantuan, hanging equidistance with his mouth. Sancho Panza (right) is visibly repelled by the Squires nose, reaching out his right hand to shield himself from the Squire of the woods and resting his left hand against a tree to support him in his fright.
