| Commentary | Sancho, knelt, introduces don Quixote to the Duchess while the knight awaits in the background.
Accurate to Cervantes' text, the Duchess appears on horseback and holding a hawk. Well-known scene, resolved with little novelty. Drawing and engraving are very remarkable; good and detailed figures. |
| Notes | 1 - Process reproduction of Pinelli's etching for Roma: R. Gentilucci, 1833-34.
2 - Wrongly-placed in chapter 40:2. |
