	Commentary	Well-known scene, but now its realism is remarkable. Don Quixote, accurate to Cervantes' text, with a sword and a blanket; Cardenio holds the innkeeper, who wants to beat don Quixote; the priest tries to stop don Quixote; the barber is prepared to through him a bucket of water; Sancho Panza searches for Pandafilando's head; the innkeeper's wife looks at the wine; Maritornes looks at don Quixote laughing; and, in the background, the innkeeper's daughter and Dorotea leaving the room. Maritornes' figure, almost grotesque, is remarkable.
	Notes	Cosmo Armstrong (19th century): English engraver. Armstrong was a disciple of Thomas Milton. He was the president of the Society of Engravers and engraved plates for Kearsley’s Shakespeare (1805), for Cooke’s edition of English Poets, Smirke’s illustrations for Don Quixote and The Arabian Nights and several portraits of notable men (Shakespeare, Byron...). He also participated in London: Miller, 1801 Don Quixote edition, engraving three chapter illustrations (Benezit I, 266).
