	Commentary	Don Quixote's first sally allegorical representation. Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, protected by Folly (with the barber basin and a jester scepter) and Love (Cupid holding a torch touching don Quixote's heart and pointing to Dulcinea). Dulcinea appears as a French Lady carrying wheat, as Sancho refers in chapter 31:1. In the background, a windmill half-transformed into a giant (8:1) and a flock of sheep with lances (18:1). Drawing and engraving are excellent.
	Notes	1 - From set "Sold by G. Vander Gucht in Queen Street Bloomsbury" (London, c. 1725 or later); numbered as plate 1. 3 - Copy engraved by Gerard van der Gucht? after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724); the composition has been turned in comparison with Coypel's, but they both have the same large horizontal format.
