| Title Caption | Don Quixote durch das Lesen seiner Ritterbücher von Zauberinen ganz ein, genommen und durch seine spätern Abenteuer in seinem Wahne noch mehr bestärkt, hält einem nach Art der Automaten redenden Kopf in Don Antonios Hause, für einem wahrsagenden Zauber=Kopf, und fiehlt sich durch dessen Antworten, die den Fragen und Wünschen unsers Ritters so ziemlich entsprechen, sehr erfreut. |

| Commentary | Characters are divided in three groups:
On the right, the main one; surrounding the enchanted head (as a Roman bust), don Quixote thoughtful, Sancho astonished, don Antonio and two friends. On the left, in the foreground and in the background, two more groups that balance the composition (don Antonio's wife and friends). Well-detailed representation of a 18th century bourgeois French house (paintings, furniture, sculptures, carpets...). Theatrical scene with excellent drawing and engraving. |
