Title: [Don Quixote Falls to his Knees Having Destroyed the Wineskins]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Don Quixote (centre) falls to his knees in a lengthy white bed shirt and a little red cap having shred the wineskins of the innkeeper. The priest (left) dressed in black, takes Quixote's right hand in his own and talks to him. To the right, Sancho Panza bends slightly, incensed at the promises his master has made to him, which he now realize were made in disillusioned faith. The innkeeper (in the background by the ladder) raises his right hand and clenches it into a fist in anger with Quixote for destroying his wineskins, but he is restrained by Cardenio. In the background, a ladder leads up and out of the cellar. The barber, Dorotea, and the innkeeper's wife are pictured on the left.
