| Commentary | Don Quixote dictates his last will to a notary (foreground); two candles light them.
In the background, the housekeeper, the niece, Sansón Carrasco, the barber, the priest and Sancho Panza; Sancho in a very secondary position. Scene without too much drama; just the housekeeper and the niece crying. Good composition, lightly theatrical. Drawing and engraving are good too. |
| Notes | 1 – Copy in a reduced size after Antonio Carnicero’s illustration for Madrid: Ibarra, 1780.
2 - Following its own tome and page indication "Tom. 7. Pag. 339.", it has been wrongly-placed in chapter 70:2; it should be in chapter 74:2. |
