Commentary The innkeeper's wife and her daughter ask don Quixote to help their husband/father, beaten by a pair of guests that did not want to pay for the lodge; however, don Quixote refuses to do it, saying that this is Sancho's duty.
Well-resolved figures and remarkable setting, detailed and carefully-drawn; good coloring too.
