Title: [Sancho Panza Lays Like a Tortoise in the Battle of Barataria]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe; Barataria
Description: Having fallen down amidst the violence, Sancho lies like a tortoise enclosed and covered by his two shields, like a boat keeled upwards upon the sand, his arms outstretched and a halberd clenched in his right hand, his mouth wide crying out at his assaulters to cease their attack. Above Sancho, a young man equipped with a stick steps onto his back followed by a spearman. On the right, a moustached man with a spear points his weapon towards Sancho's hind shield. In the background a large group of people have become involved in a scrum.
