Title: Sancho Panza Grabs the Country Girl's Halter and Introduces Himself to her Pretending that she is Dulcinea to Fool his Master
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Toboso; Europe
Description: Sancho Panza meets the country girls and lays hold of one of them by the halter of their donkey, and bending to both of his knees introduces himself and his master to the girl who he calls Dulcinea Del Toboso. Seeing Sancho act thusly, Don Quixote (right) clad in armor, also places himself on his knees looking wistfully at the girl who Sancho Panza claims is Dulcinea Del Toboso. The two girls in the background laugh at the notion of being called ladies, and the girl in the front pulls back her halter angrily trying to distance herself from Sancho and Quixote. Toboso can be seen in the background on the left.
