Thanks for the interesting history of this drawing. Is that Howard hanging from the windmill in the distance?

Hi - yep!

“Those that you see over there,” responded his master, “with the long arms—some of them almost two leagues long.” “Look, your grace,” responded Sancho, “what you see over there aren't giants—they're windmills; and what seems to be arms are the sails that rotate the millstone when they're turned by the wind.”
