Description: Just after midnight, Don Quixote asks Sancho Panza to lead him to Dulcinea’s palace in El Toboso. They make their way to the church, mistaking its tower for that of a castle. A man (background) with two mules and a plow comes toward them, singing a ballad of Roncesvalles. The illustration is not accurate to Cervantes’ text: the scene is not depicted at night. Signed by J.
