	Commentary	Centrifugal composition (more movement) where don Quixote is the center and the other figures form a "V". On the left, the innkeeper and others. On the right, Sancho, the broken theater and others. Maese Pedro appears from inside the theater and his servant running away. Theatrical and baroque composition; all the characters are placed looking at the viewer and before a big curtain (backdrop). Drawing and engraving are masterly.
	Notes	1 - From set "Sold by G. Vander Gucht in Queen Street Bloomsbury" (London, c. 1725 or later); numbered as plate 7. 2 - Copy engraved by Gerard van der Gucht? after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1723); the composition has been turned in comparison with Coypel's, but they both have the same large horizontal format.
