Clumsy drawing and engraving; disproportionate and badly detailed figures.

| Commentary | Accurate to Cervantes' text, the innkeeper, holding a sword and a book, knights don Quixote, fallen on his knees before him. Doña Tolosa holds don Quixote's sword and doña Molinera his spurs. It also appears the boy with a candle. The other two women, do not belong to Cervantes' text.
Clumsy drawing and engraving; disproportionate and badly detailed figures. |
| Notes | 1 - Clumsy copy of Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, 1724) through Bernard Picart's copy (La Haye: Hondt, 1746). Both 1746 and 1777 copies with the same vertical format. In 1746 copy the composition is turned in comparison with 1724 and 1777.
2 - Doña Molinera´s spurs were included by Picart (a shield in Coypel's illustration). Now, this new detail has been conserved. |
