Title: [The Sage Enchanter who Quixote Imagines to be the Author of His Adventures]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: An old man sits in a chair in white robes and buttoned shirt with white cloth draped back over his head, an illustrious beard and moustache to his name and a necklace set with a heavy stone slung across his shoulder. In his right hand he holds a quill and in his left a piece of paper which he has already begun drawing symbols upon from the bottom upwards. The image is occasioned by Don Quixote saying that "the author of this our history must be some sage enchanter. Nothing is hidden from those gentry that they have a mind to write."
