Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Cave of Montesinos; Spain; Europe
Description: In regaling Sancho with the story of his descent in to the cave of Montesinos, Quixote speaks of how he met the knight Durandarte in depths of the cave. Durandarte (right) clad in armor, lies on an elegant tomb engraved with angels on its side, his head resting on a pillow. On his knees, an old man in dark robes, a cap on his head and a long beard speaks to Durandarte passionately, his arms convincingly by his side. Don Quixote, clad in armor, listens to the conversation between these two men, looking down into the eyes of Durandarte.
