| Commentary | Allegorical scene of great beauty.
In a room, don Quixote, asleep, is protected by Wisdom (as Athena among shining clouds); his arms and barber basin remain abandoned. On the right, Sancho, awake, is captivated by Folly (with a jester scepter among dark clouds), who shows him a crown and a castle (the promised government of the island). Drawing and engraving are remarkable. |
| Notes | 1 - Good copy in a reduced size after Schley's plate with Coypel's design for La Haye: P. de Hondt, 1746.
