Description: To the rhythm of music, a triumphal cart approaches Don Quixote, Sancho Panza, the duke, and the duchess, pulled by six gray mules caparisoned in white linen. The triumphal is surrounded on all sides by penitents dressed in white and holding large, burning wax torches. On a raised throne sits a nymph draped in a thousand veils of silver cloth with gold sequins. Her face is covered by a transparent and delicate sendal. Next to her is Merlin, dressed as the figure of Death. Don Quixote embraces Sancho Panza after his squire accepts to give himself lashes to disenchant Dulcinea. Signed by A. Rodríguez (illustrator) and T. Enguídanos (engraver). Part 2, ch. 35.
