Commentary The quotation in the illustration alludes to the moment when the secretary is reading don Quixote's letter to Sancho; so, the other figures would be the majordomo, Pedro Recio and a servant. However, the clothes of this "secretary" look more like the ones of a courier, so the characters in the background would be the majordomo and the secretary.
Carefully-done setting. 
Notes 1 - It has been used a variety of chromolithography known as oleography to imitate an oil painting.
