Drawing and engraving is better in this illustration than in others by the same engraver, but not too much.

| Commentary | Conventional composition. In the foreground, Sancho's blanketing, while, from the background, don Quixote observes him. The quality of this illustration is due to the richness of details and the diversity of gestures.
Drawing and engraving is better in this illustration than in others by the same engraver, but not too much. |
| Notes | 1 - Copy of Trémolières' illustration (Paris: Dupuis, c. 1733-39) through Jacob van der Schley's copy (La Haye: Hondt, 1746). Both 1746 and 1777 copies with the same vertical format, but their compositions are turned. |
