This small drawing is one of three by Stothard (SM P238-240) framed together in a single frame and hung in the South Drawing Room at Lincoln's Inn Fields. It depicts a scene from the novel Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes de Saavedra (1547 (assumed)–1616), the greatest novel of the Spanish Golden Age.
