| Commentary | Two different scenes in the same plate:
The first one, in the background: Duchess' page finds Teresica Panza, Sancho's daughter, and she leads him to her house. The second one, in the foreground: the page handing letters and presents (a string of pearls) to Teresa Panza, who holds a tow ball (accurate to Cervantes' text); also Teresica, barefoot. Drawing, shading and engraving are excellent; detailed figures and setting; good gestures and expressions; remarkable style. |
| Notes | 1 - Good precedent for the illustration in London: Tonson, 1738. |
