Commentary In the foreground, don Quixote, with great dignity, puts the barber basin on his head, while Sancho Panza laughs.
In the background, the barber running away and leaving his mule fallen.
On the left, two women observe the scene (not from Cervantes' text).
Well-detailed drawing and engraving.
See rainbow in the background; it has rained at the beginning of this episode.
Drawing and engraving are masterly. 
Notes 1 - From set "Sold by G. Vander Gucht in Queen Street Bloomsbury" (London, c. 1728-30 or later); numbered as plate 15.
2 - Copy engraved by Gerard van der Gucht? after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30); the composition has been turned in comparison with Coypel's, but they both have the same large horizontal format.
