| Commentary | Don Quixote and Sancho mounted on Clavileño while several servants simulate its flight with bellows and torchs; one of them has lighted its fuse.
The Duke and Duchess observe the scene. Set in a Versailles kind garden (baroque architectures, hedges, one terminus...). Good light and shadow effects. Despite some light faults, drawing and engraving are remarkable. |
| Notes | 1 - Good copy in a reduced size after Picart's plate with Coypel's design for La Haye: P. de Hondt, 1746.
2 - Plate XXII. |
