Tapestry showing Don Quixote Guided by Folly, Setting Forth to be a Knight-Errant
The central scene of this tapestry follows the composition of one of the twenty-eight paintings Charles Coypel made of subjects from Miguel de Cervantes's novel Don Quixote. In this weaving, loosely based on part 1, chapter 8 of the book, Don Quixote is about to attack a windmill, which he sees as a threatening giant.
