Description: Don Quixote lifted with his horse by the wing of a windmill; flails wildly, broken lance in his right hand and his shield in his left hand. Sancho Panza (right) raises his hands in fear for his master, riding on his donkey. Two workers are shocked as they look up to see Quixote suspended by the wing of the windmill. In the bottom left, a donkey leads a cart of cargo. In the background, two more windmills are turning as per usual.
