| Commentary | Four travelers (four in the text, only two in the illustration) arrive to the inn and Rocinante begins to move to smell one of the mares, leaving don Quixote almost hung by his hand tied to a window, but he has not fallen yet.
The innkeeper, his daughter and Maritornes should not appear yet, but Coypel prefers theatrical compositions with plenty of figures. Drawing and engraving are masterly; remarkable details and expressions. |
