Title: [The Priest Questions Sancho Panza as to the Location of his Master Don Quixote]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe; Toboso
Description: Sancho Panza sits atop Rocinante at the entrance of the inn in Toboso with his arms raised by his shoulders defensively. He is being questioned by the barber (foreground) and the priest (background) about why he is riding on Quixote's horse. The barber raises his right hand in accusation and with his left hand grasps his sword, accusing Sancho of murdering Quixote and stealing his belongings. Sancho denies these accusations and tells the two men that Quixote is partaking in penance within the mountains, and that as a squire he has been tasked with delivering a message for Dulcinea Del Toboso on his master's behalf.
