| Commentary | The barber and the priest talk with don Quixote to check if he is sane or insane, while the housekeeper and the niece observe them.
The composition is simple, but theatrical (great canopy). Drawing and engraving are acceptable. |

2 - Placed in the upper right corner, but it should appear on the left, before "Sansón Carrasco visits don Quixote". 3 - Placed as frontispiece. 4 - Same plate first engraved for Paris: Renouard, 1812. |
