	Commentary	Accurate to Cervantes' text, the innkeeper, holding a sword and a book, knights don Quixote, knelt before him. Doña Tolosa (figure of great beauty) holds don Quixote's sword and doña Molinera his spurs. It also appears the boy with a candle. Two other women (the one next to a well is very remarkable), do not belong to Cervantes' text. Drawing and engraving are masterly.
	Notes	1 - Although Picart has signed as "del." (delineavit: drew), this is an almost perfect copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, 1724). 2 - Picart has just changed the composition (now it is vertical and turned) and has included the spurs that doña Molinera holds. In Coypel´s illustration, doña Molinera was holding a shield (less accurate to Cervantes' text). 3 - Picart died in 1733, so the plate was engraved in this year or before.
