Commentary In a French court garden, Countess Trifaldi shows her beard to don Quixote, amazing him and Sancho.
The composition is created with gestures and looks: the Duchess orders two maidens to be quiet; Sancho is surprised; don Quixote astonished.
Trifaldín's figure is very remarkable, although he should hold a scimitar, not a mace.
Acceptable drawing and engraving. 
Notes 1 - Same plate first used for Paris: Compagnie des Libraires, 1732.
2 - Turned copy with a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, 1724); the Duke and one maiden have not been copied.
