| Commentary | Don Quixote, in bed, makes his will; in the foreground, the notary.
On the left, the housekeeper and the niece; on the right, Sancho Panza, the priest, the barber and Sansón Carrasco. Don Quixote's arms remain hanged over the bed. Scene with good composition and perspective. The illustration, as a whole, has been drawn and engraved well. |
| Notes | 1 - Plate XV according to the order of publishing (June 15, 1782), not the chapter order.
2 - All the plates with the same Empire style frame; good decorative effect. |
