In the background, the priest and Cardenio hidden; on the right, don Quixote's arms.
Micomicona or Dorotea's figure is of great beauty and richly dressed (see detailed engraving in her clothes).
Good engraving.

| Commentary | In the foreground, Micomicona knelt before don Quixote, who takes her hand to stand her up; on the left, the barber disguised with a fake beard and, on the right, Sancho (his figure is not quite good).
In the background, the priest and Cardenio hidden; on the right, don Quixote's arms. Micomicona or Dorotea's figure is of great beauty and richly dressed (see detailed engraving in her clothes). Good engraving. |
| Notes | 1 - Same plate first engraved for Paris: Baudry, 1835 (after Rivelle's illustration for Madrid: Imprenta Real, 1819). |
