Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Sancho, pictured in the middle of the foreground, kneels on both knees before the duchess, his hands proffered by his side and his head down. The duchess (middle), dressed in a white courtly gown, looks down upon Sancho with her arms wrapped around the duke's right elbow. The duke (right), dressed in a black cape, plumed hat, and golden medallion, looks off into the leftmost distance, leaning towards the duchess in the middle, to whom he proffers his right arm, and upon his waist he rests his left arm. On the left, Don Quixote closes his eyes and covers his right breast with his hand. Lying next to the duke is a rapier of sorts.
