	Commentary	Well-known scene; doctor Pedro Recio does not allow Sancho to eat and, pointing the dishes with his wand, orders the servants to take them away; several ladies and gentlemen observe them. Highly-detailed drawing and engraving; figures of great beauty (ladies on the left) and realism (servants on the right); good pictorial effects too. Vanderbank represented this scene with quite more austerity (London: Tonson, 1738).
	Notes	1 - Plate IX. Dated on March, 1798. 2 - The only illustration in this set engraved by Skelton (his style and Mill's are quite different), with caption and horizontal format. It is not one of the 6 illustrations designed or engraved by Hogarth for London: Tonson, 1738; perhaps designed and engraved for the first time c1724 or in 1730. This is the newly-engraved copy by Skelton for John Ireland's work Hogarth Illustrated (vol. 3, 1798). William Skelton (London, 1763 – London, 1848): Burin engraver. James Basire and William Sharp’s disciple. Skelton worked for Boydell and for the Society of Diletanti, for which he made his best engravings. Those about the English Royal Family (George III and Queen Victoria) were especially successful (Benezit IX, 638).
