[Sancho Imagines Himself Fishing]

Description
-
Sancho Panza holds a fishing pole beneath the boughs of a tree and its shade, a wide brimmed hat upon his head and his feet hanging over the edge. The fishing hook rests gently near the shore with bait on its edge. In the foreground a pot and three fish lie on the ground. The illustrations portray the musings of Sancho, who says that "the unhappy wight to whose lot it falls must unavoidably undergo. It would be far better for us, who profess this cursed service, to retire home to our houses and pass our time there in more easy employments, such as hunting or fishing..."
