Title: DON QUIXOTE WENT ON HIS WAY EXCEEDINGLY PENSIVE, TO THINK WHAT A BASE TRICK THE ENCHANTERS HAD PLACED ON HIM
Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Having visited his lady Dulcinea of Toboso, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza mount their beasts and follow the road to Saragosa to partake in a solemn festival. As they travel Quixote (left) sits pensively on Rocinante, thinking about the trick which he thinks enchanters have played on him, fooling him into thinking a commoner was instead his lady Dulcinea, and how to reverse the ill enchantment. He becomes so engrossed in his thoughts that he lets go of Rocinante's bridle, allowing the horse to leave the path and follow its own whim.
