Description: Don Quixote sits in his armchair in the centre of the image, books strewn across the floor. One book is open in his left hand, his right hand holds a sword above his head. Images from fairy tales, including a castle, dragon, giant’s head, princesses, knights in shining armor on horses, damsels in distress, villains, shields, lances and monsters fill the room and surround him. All the figures appear to be looking at Don Quixote. Scene found in Part I, Book 1, Chapter 1.
