Title: Sancho Returning from his Government
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Having sought a convenient shelter for the night, Sancho Panza and Dapple fell together into a cavity, among the ruins of an old building. Lamenting and despairing in the pit, which was half a league, he perceived a kind of glimmering light, breaking through some aperture above, that seemed to him an entrance to the other world. And so Sancho stands among the rock walls of the pit, looking up towards the light with his arms upraised. Dapple, his donkey, is behind him.
