| Commentary | Rocinante begins to move closer to one of the travelers' mares (four in the text, only two in the illustration), leaving don Quixote almost hold by his hand, but he has not fallen yet.
The innkeeper, his daughter and Maritornes should not appear yet, but Coypel prefers theatrical compositions plenty of figures. Excellent composition; drawing, engraving and shading of great quality. |
