Commentary On the left, don Quixote, bandaged and in bed, and doña Rodríguez; both talking by the light of a candle (accurate to Cervantes' text).
From the right, Altisidora and other Duchess' maidens arrive holding their shoes; one of them is almost catching doña Rodríguez.
Extraordinary detailed setting (furniture, canopy, clock...).
Coypel has inserted one anecdotal element: a cat observing a mouse.
Excellent light and shadow effects.
Highly-detailed drawing and engraving.
