Description: In Sierra Morena, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza arrive at the foot of a high mountain, standing alone among the many others that surround it. Don Quixote chooses this place for his penance. He removes his armour, for he must be as naked as the day he was born if he is to follow Roland. Half-naked, he performs somersaults while Sancho averts his eyes. Unsigned. Part 1, ch. 3.
