Description: Don Quixote stands guard in front of his armor in the courtyard of the inn. He is waiting to be knighted in the morning by the innkeeper who is humouring his delusions of knighthood. Don Quixote’s armor is placed on the water trough, a full moon illuminates the scene and birds roost in the hay bale to the right. The inn is just visible on the right. This scene is found in Part I, Book 1, Chapter 3.
