Description: On the road to the cave of Montesinos, Don Quixote (middle), Sancho Panza (left) and the scholar (right) rest beneath a tree. Sancho Panza holds his pouch of water with both hands and takes a large swig. Meanwhile, Don Quixote clad in armor talks excitedly, gesticulating with his hands, to the squire who leans against a coil of rope with great interest. Quixote's lance, shield and sword all rest in the tree and Rocinante grazes in the background. The hats of all three men lie by their feet.
