	Commentary	At the inn, the priest and the barber disguise with the help of the innkeeper's wife; the priest as a woman and the barber with an ox-tail as beard; Maritornes observes them laughing. In the background, through the door, it appears Sancho eating. Maritornes' figure, grotesque, is absolutely masterly; this kind of images were not in keeping with Carteret and Oldfield's taste, so it was rejected and Vanderbank did not represented this scene (London: Tonson, 1738). Excellent drawing and engraving.
	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; this is one of the 6 illustrations rejected by Carteret and Oldfield. 3 - "Esta es la escena en que el Cura y el Barbero se disfrazan, en la famosa venta, para que no les reconozca Don Quijote y así puedan inducirle a regresar a su casa. Es una interpretación quijotesca única, como otra igual ni parecida se haya visto, antes o después de Hogarth. La suave e intensa ironía del gran caricaturista campea en la estampa. Nadie más, que sepamos, ha representado esta misma escena. Aquí está la pérdida: Hogarth, como todo gran artista, descubre en el Quijote lo que otros no verán jamás" (Givanel 128).
