| Commentary | Don Quixote, asleep and with a blanket around his left arm, attacks the wineskins; the innkeeper, the priest, Sancho, Cardenio and the barber enter into the room.
Well-known and often illustrated scene. Light and shadow effects are remarkable (from innkeeper's lamp); notice the contrast between don Quixote, well-lighted, and the innkeeper, in shade. Acceptable drawing and engraving for this small size format. |
| Notes | 1 - Good copy in a small size format after Antonio Carnicero's illustration for Madrid: Ibarra, 1780.
2 - Tomes III and IV are bound together in vol. II in Cushing copy. |
