Title: [Of How Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are Pulled From the River]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe; The River Ebro
Description: Having capsized Quixote's boat, two millers pull the drenched passengers from the river. The miller on the right pulls Sancho Panza's arm whilst kneeling on the bank, his sleeves rolled up past his elbows. Sancho grasps for air as he surfaces, his hands reaching for something solid to hold. On the left another miller pulls Don Quixote from the river by his ankles, the knight's leg armor is all that's visible to identify him with. In the background to the left a third miller looks at Quixote's lower half combatively with a wooden pole in hand, and two more figures in the middle of the background approach the newly submerged men.
