| Commentary | Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
Well-resolved composition; don Quixote attacks Maese Pedro's theater before an astonished public and Sancho. Accurate details (Maese Pedro's patch, his servant holding a wand to tell the story...). Some details (lamp) are copied from Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724). The quality of drawing and engraving are quite unequal; acceptable as a whole. |
| Notes | 1 - Copy after Antonio Carnicero's illustration for Madrid: Ibarra, 1780.
2 - Placed as frontispiece. |
