Commentary In the foreground, two maidens beat doña Rodríguez's ass with a slipper; "que la asían de la garganta con dos manos tan fuertemente, que no la dejaban gañir, y que otra persona con mucha presteza, sin hablar palabra, le alzaba las faldas, y con un al parecer chinela, le comenzó á dar tantos azotes que era una compasión" (48:2).
In the background, don Quixote in his bed observing the scene.
Accurate details (see the fallen candle; it should be extinguished).
Drawing and engraving are quite good; very worn plate. 
Notes 1 – Modified copy after Clouzier's engraving (Paris: Compagnie des Libraires, 1700) after Bouttats' illustration for Amberes: Verdussen, 1672-73; the scene in the background (don Quixote beaten by other maidens) has not been copied, so now the illus. is more accurate to Cervantes' text.
