Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: A stone castle is pictured atop a peninsula of rock, surrounded on all sides by water, the only entrance a winding pathway drawing from a beach. The image is occasioned by Quixote seeing a water mill and saying "O friend, behold, yonder appears the city, castle or fortress in which some knight lies under oppression, or some queen or princess in evil plight, for whose relief I am brought hither."
