Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Having refused to pay the innkeeper, Sancho Panza is grabbed by guests of the inn and tossed in the innkeepers blanket in the backyard of the inn. Sancho (top middle) extends his arms in the air, yelling out in terror, his water pouch flying about as he soars. He is tossed by four cloth-workers of Segovia, three needle-makers of the horse-fountain of Cordova, and two butchers of Seville. In the background on the right two people watch the festivities from a second floor window.
