Title: [Donna Rodriguez Enters Don Quixote's Room in the Dead of Night]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Don Quixote (lefts) stands upon a bed, wrapped from head to toe in a quilt of satin, a woollen cap on his head, and his face and mustachios bound up with bandages because of the scratches suffered at the paws of a cat. On the right, an elderly woman enters the room in a long white veil that covers her from head to foot. She carries between the fingers of her left hand a lighted candle, and holds her right hand over it to shade her face and keep the glare from her eyes, which are behind a huge pair of spectacles.
