| Commentary | Don Quixote, with a clemency gesture, orders the Knight of the Mirrors (Sansón Carrasco) to go and prostrate himself at the feet of Dulcinea.
His squire, Tomé Cecial (left), takes off his fake big nose to show don Quixote who they really are, amazing Sancho. Perfectly-balanced composition. Good drawing and engraving. |
| Notes | 1 - Same plate first used for Paris: Compagnie des Libraires, 1732.
