Commentary Don Quixote attacks Maese Pedro's theater (he holds tight king Marsilio's puppet); Maese Pedro appears from behind the theater curtain while Sancho and others observe them with astonishment and laughing; also Maese Pedro's ape in the upper left corner.
Well-known scene and many times represented.
Illustration with little novelty; drawing and lithograph acceptable. 
Notes It is not signed by any illustrator (maybe, P. Bedini or A. Berselli).
Copy after Francesco Novelli's plate XXIV for Venice: Alvisopoli, 1818 (and 1819); some figures have been eliminated.
