Title: [Of How Sancho and Quixote Rode To the Estate of the Duke and Duchess in Their Presence]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Having recovered from their embarrassing tumbles, Sancho (middle) and Quixote (right) have adjusted and mounted their saddles, Sancho upon his donkey and Quixote, clad in armor and equipped with a spear upon his spindly horse Rocinante. On the left the duke rides by Sancho's side upon a very fine horse, and the duchess rides between Sancho and Quixote with her legs draped over the left flank of the horse. Sancho makes forth in conversation with the duchess from his low vantage, to the great satisfaction of the duke and duchess, who looked upon it as an entertainment.
