On the right, Camacho ready to draw his sword. From the left, don Quixote goes to stop him, while Sancho stays protecting his food. Also a priest and several women. Theatrical composition. Drawing and engraving are excellent. |

2 - 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. |
