Pablo Picasso here represents the famous character created by Cervantes, Don Quixote, and his faithful sidekick, Sancho Panza.

The fat and skinny knight Don Quixote is depicted on his old Rossinante mare, while Sancho Panza is mounted on his donkey. The knight, armed with a spear and a shield, is about to fight what he believes to be giants, although his valet told him that they were only windmills ...


CHAPTER VIII.

The great success that the valiant Don Quixote had in the terrible and unimaginable adventure of the windmills, with other events worthy of fond memories.

At this moment, they discovered thirty or forty windmills that there are in this plain, and, as soon as Don Quixote saw them, he said to his squire: "Fortune drives our business better than our desire could succeed. even. Look, friend Sancho, here are before us at least thirty gigantic giants, whom I think will fight and take the life of all while they are. With their spoils, we will begin to enrich ourselves; because it’s taken in good war, and it is to serve God greatly to wipe out such a bad breed from the face of the earth. - What giants? asked Sancho Panza. "The ones you see over there," replied his master, with their big arms, "for there are some who are almost two leagues long." "Take care," replied Sancho; what we see there are not giants, but windmills, and what appears to be their arms are their wings, which, turned by the wind, in turn turn the millstone. - We can clearly see, answered Don Quixote, that you are not an expert in terms of adventures: they are giants, I tell you; if you are afraid, get out of there, and go to pray while I will wage an unequal and terrible battle for them.
