Description: Sancho Panza (right) sits comfortably in high throne above the crowd dressed in courtly apparel. He is surrounded from below by his citizens who look at him to see how he governs, some of whom carry tall halberds. His attendant stands with his arms crossed in the foreground on the right with a sword by his hip. On the left, a young woman with black curly hair grabs the shoulder of the man behind her in an accusatory manner as she speaks to Sancho. The man is dressed in the manner of a rich herdsman and holds up his hands to try and prove his innocence.
