	Commentary	Allegorical scene of great beauty. In a room, don Quixote, asleep, is protected by Wisdom (as Athena/Minerva 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 masterly.
	Notes	1 - Illustration dated in 1742. 2 - Copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30). 3 - The composition has been turned and the format now is vertical, so Schley has enlarged the floor and the ceiling. 4 - The illustration is explained by a dialog between don Quixote and Sancho (apocryphal, not by Cervantes). Don Quixote explains his dream to Sancho: "que j'en ai l'Obligation à la fage & incomparable Minerve, qui vient de m'apparoitre, & avec laquelle j'ai eu un Entretien des plus intéressans [...] celle, qui vient de m'apparoitre, & que tu prens pour une Femme ordinaire, est la Déesse de la Sagesse, cette aimable Fille du Ciel [...] qui vient de m'ouvrir les Yeux sur mes Egaremens passez". Athena/Wisdom tells don Quixote: "Je suis venue exprès en ce Lieu, pour ôter le Bandeau, que la Folie a mis sur tes Yeux" (319-320).
