| Commentary | Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante and completely armed, arrived to an inn, where he encounters two "ladies" (party girls); also the innkeeper.
In the background, a swineherd blowing his horn. Don Quixote has been represented as a real medieval errant knight. Drawing and engraving are very remarkable; good illustration. |
| Notes | 1 - Process reproduction of Pinelli's etching for Roma: R. Gentilucci, 1833-34.
2 - Wrongly-placed in chapter 3:1. |
