| Commentary | Don Quixote reading chivalric books at his library; books, arms and armour all around the room.
Well-known scene, but Baghot de la Bere's style of curves shapes is quite unique; notice don Quixote's figure like an old man immersed in reading, excellent. Detailed setting -quite baroque- and remarkable drawing and coloring. |
| Notes | 1 - Placed as frontispiece.
