Drawing and engraving are excellent; the composition has been resolved with a good perspective. Notice some picturesque details (the fishermen in traditional clothes, the child running...).
On the right, don Antonio, the viceroy and others.

| Commentary | Pellicer has illustrated two moments of this episode; this first one, when don Quixote and the Knight of the White Moon ride to charge against each other, has been less represented in previous editions, so it is more original.
