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. Good drawing and engraving. |
Notes | 1 - Same plate first used for Paris: Compagnie des Libraires, 1732.
2 - Turned copy with a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30). |
