[Of How Sancho was Refused Morsels as Governor]
-
Description
-
During his governorship of Barataria, Sancho Panza is led to a sumptuous palace in the great hall where a royal table was elegantly furnished. when the governor entered, and four pages came forth. Sancho took his place at the upper end of the table that was accommodated for one. To his left stood a physician with a rod of whalebone in his hand. A great variety of dishes were brought forward for Sancho and a page tucked a laced bib under Sancho's chin. Sancho was only able to taste one morsel when the doctor touched the plate with his wand, and it was taken away by a page. Another dish was presented, but this was touched by the wand just as quickly and another page took the dish away with incredible speed. The three pages in the foreground are young boys taking Sancho's dishes away after being given the signal by the whalebone wand of the physician (pictured to the right with a long white beard), who was enjoying this practical joke with all others who were in Sancho's presence.
