	Commentary	On the left, don Quixote, bandaged and in bed, and doña Rodríguez talking by the light of a candle (accurate to Cervantes' text). From the right, Altisidora and other Duchess' maidens arrive holding their shoes; one of them is almost catching doña Rodríguez. Extraordinary detailed setting (furniture, canopy, clock...). Coypel has inserted one anecdotal element: a cat observing a mouse. Excellent light and shadow effects; remarkable 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. 3 – Plate XXVIII.
