	Commentary	Perfectly-balanced composition. Don Quixote, with a clemency gesture, orders the Knight of the Mirrors (Sansón Carrasco) to go and prostrate himself at the feet of Dulcinea. His squire, Tomé Cecial (left), takes off his fake big nose to show don Quixote who they really are, amazing Sancho. Well-detailed drawing and engraving (see don Quixote's left hand gesture, clothes, armours).
	Notes	1 - From set "Sold by G. Vander Gucht in Queen Street Bloomsbury" (London, c. 1728-30 or later); numbered as plate 17. 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.
