| Commentary | Well-known scene since Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724), but now it has been represented in a later instant (certain originality).
Don Quixote holds Princess Micomicona's hand (Dorotea), already standing up, and orders Sancho to bring his arms (hung on a tree); the barber disguised as Micomicona's squire. Neither the priest nor Cardenio appear hidden. Drawing and engraving with acceptable quality. |
| Notes | 1 - Same plate first engraved by Bigant for Paris: Chez Gide, 1806.
2 - Copied afer Lefebvre's illustration (Paris: Didot-Deterville, 1799). 3 - Placed as frontispiece. |
