Commentary In a French court garden, countess Trifaldi shows her beard to don Quixote, amazing him and Sancho.
The composition is created with gestures and looks: the Duchess orders two maidens to be quiet; the Duke laughs; Sancho's surprised; don Quixote's astonished.
On the left, Trifaldín's figure is very remarkable, although he should hold a scimitar, not a mace.
Well-detailed drawing and engraving. 
Notes 1 - Plate XXI (in the French edition, the plates aren't numbered).
2 - Signature and caption re-engraved.
3 - Copied after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, 1724).
4 - The composition has been turned and the format now is vertical, so Picart has enlarged the trees and the sky.
5 - Picart died in 1733, so the plate was engraved in this year or before.
