| Commentary | Allegorical scene of great beauty.
In a room, don Quixote, asleep, is protected by Wisdom (as Athena among shining clouds); his arms and barber basin remain abandoned. On the right, Sancho, awake, is captivated by Folly (with a jester scepter among dark clouds), who shows him a crown and a castle (the promised government of the island). Drawing and engraving are excellent. |
| Notes | 1 – Turned copy in a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30); the floor has been enlarged, looking like a stage. |
