| Commentary | Don Quixote attacking the puppets of Maese Pedro's theater; Sancho tries to stop him and Maese Pedro appears from behind the set (he should wear a patch); in the foreground, the boy, Maese Pedro's servant, who was telling the story.
Other figures observe the scene with astonishment and laughing. Scene resolved without too much originality. Very acceptable engraving. |
| Notes | 1 - Copied after Francis Hayman's design for London: Millar, 1755.
