| Commentary | Don Quixote, after having fought with a flock of sheep, has been stoned by the shepherds; Sancho counts how many teeth remain into his mouth.
From the whole episode, a comical/kind scene has been chosen to show the mutual care relation between don Quixote and Sancho. Neither the previous fight nor the next scene (don Quixote and Sancho vomiting), both scenes of crude humour, were selected. In the background, the shepherds bringing the flock together. Good use of dotted manner/stipple; remarkable shading. |
| Notes | 1 - Copy after John Vanderbank's illustration for London: Tonson, 1738.
2 - Wrongly-placed in chapter 60:2; the scene belongs to 18:1. |
