Description: Having fooled Quixote into thinking this country girl is Dulcinea Del Toboso who has been cursed by an enchanter, he lets go of her donkey. No sooner had the donkey moved ten steps than it began to kick and wince until it bumped the imaginary Dulcinea fell to the ground. Seeing her fall, Sancho stares at the donkey and makes himself as wide as possible to try and catch the rampant donkey. Quixote (behind Sancho) clad in armor, raises his arms in surprise upon seeing his lady the (imaginary) Dulcinea Del Toboso.
