| Commentary | In Barataria Island, Sancho orders to break one stick where some coins have been hidden.
Excellent illustration, with good composition and well-drawn and engraved figures (see the gesture of the man breaking the stick -resolved with great naturalism-, the face of the accused man on the left...). |
| Notes | 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37.
2 - Compare with Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1731). |
