The composition is badly resolved. In order to superimpose both groups, the room has become disproportionate.

| Commentary | Copy from Bouttats' composition (Amberes: Verdussen, 1672 - 1673). Example of crude humor. In the foreground, two maidens beat doña Rodríguez's ass; meanwhile, in the background, don Quixote is also beaten. These two actions do not happen at the same time in the text.
The composition is badly resolved. In order to superimpose both groups, the room has become disproportionate. |
| Notes | The illustration is not placed in the right chapter. |
