Commentary Don Quixote and Sancho mounted on Clavileño while several servants simulate its flight with bellows and torches; one of them has lighted its fuse.
The Duke and Duchess observe the scene.
Set in a Versailles like garden (baroque architectures, hedges, one terminus...).
Well-known composition since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657), but now it has been enriched.
Light and shadow effects are remarkable.
Excellent drawing and engraving. 
Notes 1 - Copy after Coypel's design (first appeared in Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30; 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.
