Commentary | Maese Pedro holds one of his puppets and shows it to don Quixote and the innkeeper to set its price; meanwhile, Sancho picks up other puppets from the floor.
In the background, the broken theater. Original choice; it has not been represented don Quixote attacking the theater, but this later scene. |
Notes | The illustration is dated on September 1, 1792.
Don Quixote has been represented here according to a third different model (without beard and aquiline nose); the illustrations may be designed by different illustrators. |
