Title: Don Quichotte examinant sa lance
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Don Quixote examines his lance, testing the blade with his finger. His sword and armour lay on the floor of the library. In this illustration the room is uncluttered and tidy, while in others the library is symbolic of Don Quixote losing his mind, and is depicted as messy and chaotic. In the background is a doorway, beyond which is the bedroom. Signed by A.-J.-B. Coupé (engraver). Part 1, ch. 1.
