Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe; Plains of La Mancha
Description: Don Quixote lies on a bed, having shut himself up in his chamber with Sancho Panza. Still roused with plans of knight-errantry and governorship, the two men discuss their reputation and newfound plans for another journey that will expose them to good fortune. Sancho is seated to the left on a wooden stool, having removed his cap and holding it in his left hand by his side. Quixote listens to his squire, lying on a low bed with covers and pillows that spill over onto the floor. In the background, a white tarp is hung from two wooden banisters. Quixote's knightly equipment also hang from these banisters, with his breastplate hanging on the left and his helmet and shield on the right. On the ground to the left of Sancho lies a jug of water and an empty glass.
