| Commentary | Two different scenes in the same plate (archaic):
In the foreground, at Juan Palomeque's inn, Sancho's blanketing is observed by don Quixote from behind the inn wall. In the background, don Quixote fighting with a flock of sheep. Drawing and engraving are quite acceptable despite some disproportions among figures. |
