Description: Don Quixote, clad in armor, takes countess Trifaldi's hands in his own. The countess is pictured as an older woman clad in black robes, kneeling on the ground. The three corners of her robe are held by three pages who stand at the ready behind her on the right. On the left, Sancho Panza sits on a rock next to the duchess, who sits regally on a chair, and the duke who stands next to Quixote in his plumed hat. In the background, behind the countess, stands a very tall man with a very long and thick white beard, this is the countess' squire.
