Description: Don Quixote, dressed in cloth, sits forlorn with his lance resting on his shoulder underneath an ash tree next to a rock with "Don Quixote De La Mancha" engraved onto its surface. Quixote has laid his shield, helmet, and boots to his side but has left his leg armor equipped. To the left, a short man (possible Sancho Panza) smiles widely while staring at Don Quixote. In the background a large windmill stands with the face of a giant suspended above its roof.
