Commentary Four travelers (four in the text, only two in the illustration) arrive to the inn and Rocinante begins to move to smell one of the mares, leaving don Quixote almost hanged by his hand tied to a window, but he has not fallen yet.
The innkeeper, his daughter and Maritornes should not appear yet, but Coypel prefers theatrical compositions with many figures.
Excellent drawing and engraving. 
Notes 1 - From set "Sold by G. Vander Gucht in Queen Street Bloomsbury" (London, c. 1728-30 or later); numbered as plate 16.
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.
