| Commentary | Four travelers (four in the text, only two in the illustration) arrive to the inn and Rocinante begins to move towards one of the mares, leaving don Quixote almost hanging by his hand tied to a window, but he has not fallen yet.
The innkeeper, his daughter and Maritornes should not appear yet. Drawing and engraving are poor. |
