	Commentary	The scene is resolved with the basic composition. Micomicona (Dorotea) kneels down before don Quixote and the knight tries to prevent her from doing it. The barber, also knelt and disguised with a beard (ox tail), laughs, while Sancho holds the barber basin. Behind the trees, the priest and Cardenio are hidden. Well-detailed drawing and engraving (see Micomicona's dress, trees, cascade...).
	Notes	1 - Plate VIII (in the French edition, the plates aren't numbered). 2 - Signature and caption re-engraved. 3 - Copied after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724). 4 - The composition has been turned and the format now is vertical, so Picart has enlarged the trees and the sky. 5 - The engraver has included some new figures (a second mule and Rocinante) and some differences: don Quixote's arms hung from the tree (in Coypel's, over the floor) and Cardenio and the priest at the right side of the tree (in Coypel's, left). 6 - Picart died in 1733, so the plate was engraved in this year or before.
