Commentary In the center of the composition, don Quixote embraces Sancho before the squire leaves for Barataria Island.
On the left, the Duke and servants.
On the right, the Duchess and servants with Sancho's donkey.
Theatrical and well-balanced composition; court scene suitable to Coypel's style (Ionic columns gallery, detailed architectures, fountains, rich clothes...).
Detailed drawing and engraving (see Duke and Duchess' faces).
The same left mule also appears in "La fausse princesse de Micomicon...". 
Notes 1 - Plate XXIII (in the French edition, the plates aren't numbered).
2 - Illustration dated in 1745.
3 - Copied after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724).
4 - The composition has been turned and the format now is vertical, so Schley has enlarged the columns gallery and the sky (as Fokke did when he engraved this same scene for Le Haye: Gosse, 1744).
