| Commentary | At night, in the inn courtyard, don Quixote continues veiling his arms after having defeated one of the muleteers (on the ground by the well); another muleteer observes him from the background and two figures from the inn window.
Don Quixote's figure is firm; he looks like an English youth. Good and detailed engraving; drawing seems imprecise to suggest a picturesque effect. |
| Notes | 1 - Same illustration and plate first published in London: Harrison & Co., 1782.
2 - Plate XII according to the order of publishing (May, 25, 1782), not the chapter order. |
