Geographic: Sierra Morena; Spain; Europe
Description: In the mountains of Sierra Morena, with supper being ended, Sancho made himself a powerful whip out of Dapple's halter, retired twenty paces from his master and stripped himself naked from the waist upward, and snatching up the whip, began to lash himself. In the background, Don Quixote can be seen next to Rocinante with a hand beneath his chin, counting the number of lashes his squire has given to himself. In the bottom right, Sancho's clothes have been strewn aside.
