	Commentary	Sancho, pointing to don Quixote, introduces him to the Duchess, who rides a white horse and holds a goshawk (accurate to Cervantes' text). Just one maiden accompanies the Duchess; in other illustrations, her retinue is larger. Since Paris: Surugue, 1723 - 1724, this gallant scene, with not many changes, is habitual in 18th and 19th centuries editions. Engraving of great quality. Drawing with some disproportions (between the Duchess and her horse, for example) and some gestures are artificial (maiden), but good as a whole.
	Notes	1 - Copy after Coypel's design (first appeared in Paris: Surugue, 1723; also copied for La Haye: Pierre de Hondt, 1746). 2 - Same plate first engraved for La Haye: P. Gosse & A. Moetjens, 1744; the references have been changed from Spanish into French and the signatures erased. 3 – Plate XVII.
