Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: Don Quixote (center), clad in armor, unsheathes his sword and plants himself in front of the castelet (left). The puppets in the castelet depict a Moorish cavalry pursuing two catholic lovers. Two men next to the castelet look upon the puppets in horror, while Sancho Panza, pictured in the background behind Quixote, see's his master rise and poise to assault the castelet. The rest of the crowd watching the puppet show turn their attention to Quixote in confusion, who has risen and drawn his sword.
