Excellent composition; the candle light effects and the low point of view help to create an image of don Quixote as if he was really a phantom.
Drawing and engraving are masterly.

| Commentary | Well-known scene; when doña Rodríguez enters don Quixote's room at night, they mistake each other for phantoms.
Excellent composition; the candle light effects and the low point of view help to create an image of don Quixote as if he was really a phantom. Drawing and engraving are masterly. |
