43.3 Four travelers arrive at inn
The innkeeper, his daughter and Maritornes should not appear yet, but Coypel prefers theatrical compositions with many figures.
Schley's well-detailed engraving is perfect to Coypel's baroque style.

| Commentary | Four travelers (four in the text, only two in the illustration) arrive to the inn and Rocinante begins to move to smell one of the mares, leaving don Quixote almost hanged by his hand tied to a window, but he has not fallen yet.
The innkeeper, his daughter and Maritornes should not appear yet, but Coypel prefers theatrical compositions with many figures. Schley's well-detailed engraving is perfect to Coypel's baroque style. |
