Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe; The River Ebro
Description: Having set downstream on a small fishing boat, Don Quixote (middle) and Sancho Panza are headed directly into the churning wheels of a mill. Seeking to stop the collision, millers gather by the bank to tip the boat. In response, Don Quixote, clad in armor, with his shield by his chest, grasps at his sword and fences with it in the air against the millers; who set themselves with their poles to stop the boat. Sancho falls upon his knees, and prayed to heaven devoutly to deliver him from the perilous situation.
