	Commentary	During don Quixote's night vigil of arms (placed on a water trough beside a well), a muleteer arrives to water his mules. Notice Baghot de la Bere's characteristic style of curved shapes. Good setting, quite prosaic, and coloring.
	Notes	1 - In the introduction of this edition, John Ormsby critizes those illustrations that do not follow the prosaic spirit of Cervantes' text, using as an example Doré's illustration for this same episode: "Gustave Doré makes it an elaborate fountain such as no arriero ever watered his mules at in the corral of any venta in Spain, and thereby entirely misses the point aimed at by Cervantes. It is the mean, prosaic, commonplace character of all the surroundings and circumstances that gives a significance to Don Quixote's vigil and the ceremony that follows" (John Ormsby: "Introduction", p. lxix). In comparison with Doré's illustration (see Paris: Hachette, 1863), Baghot de la Bere's is quite more prosaic.
