Commentary In the foreground, with their backs turned to the viewer, as shadows, the Duke, the Duchess, don Quixote and Sancho; they observe the entry of Merlin´s cart with Dulcinea (in the background).
The scene is resolved with simplicity, without details and little accurate to Cervantes´text (Merlin should appear as Death, not as a magician).
Drawing and engraving are simple, without proper proportion; light and shadow effects are forced. 
Notes 1 - Same plate by unknown engraver first used for Brussels: Mommarte, 1662, which was a copy after Savery's illustration (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
