	Commentary	Don Quixote, on Rocinante (the innkeeper holds its reins), arrives at the inn; here, he encounters two "ladies" ("mujeres del partido") to whom don Quixote says that they must not be afraid of him (notice his gesture). In the background, a swineherd blowing a horn; don Quixote confuses him with a dwarf welcoming him. The setting has nothing to do with real "manchega" architecture. Drawing and engraving are excellent.
	Notes	1 - Same plate first engraved for Hogarth Illustrated (London: J. & J. Boydel, 1798, vol. 3). 2 - Re-engraved copy after Hogarth's illustration for London: Tonson, 1738; Hogarth used a previous design by Vanderbank and this was the only illustration included in Tonson's edition. His other six illustrations were rejected.
