Title: [Sancho Panza Armed For Battle in Barataria]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe; Barataria
Description: Having been warned of an invading army against the city of Barataria, the servants of governor Sancho bring him two huge shields and tie them over his shirt with rope, insomuch that he remained walled and boarded up straight like a spindle without being able to bend his knees or walk one single step. They also put a halberd into his hand to lean upon to keep himself on his feet. The servants carry torches and look at Sancho with bemusement while Sancho's face is plastered with a look of absolute terror.
