Commentary The scene is resolved with the basic composition.
Micomicona (Dorotea) kneels down before don Quixote and the knight tries to prevent her from doing it.
The barber, also knelt and disguised with a beard (ox tail), laughs, while Sancho holds the barber basin.
Behind the trees, the priest and Cardenio are hidden.
Drawing and engraving are acceptable as a whole, but deficient in some details. 
Notes 1 - Plate IX; wrongly-placed in Saint-Martin's Continuation, it should appear in tome I, part I, book IV, chap. XXIX.
2 - Surrounded by a strong line enclosing underneath a space for inscription, which however has been left blank.
3 - Copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724).
4 - Probably, the copy has been done after the plate for Paris/La Haye: Chez Bleuet, 1774, which has a similar frame and underneath space but with caption.
5 - The plate is not signed.
