| Commentary | Dorotea, washing her feet in a stream, is discovered by the priest, the barber and Cardenio.
Dorotea could never be confused with a man (as it is said in Cervantes' text); she has been represented in woman clothes and showing her bosom. Bucolic setting. Drawing and engraving are very remarkable. |
| Notes | 1 - Same plate first engraved for London: Tonson, 1749, now partially-erased (as used in 1766 too).
2 - Plate 10. |
