| Commentary | After the adventure with the "yangüeses", don Quixote, on Sancho's donkey, and the squire arrive to the inn and the innkeeper welcomes them.
His wife, his daughter and Maritornes also appear, but it would not be necessary. Illustration of small format, but with masterly drawing and engraving; well-detailed faces (innkeeper, Sancho...), good setting and gestures (innkeeper's wife). |
| Notes | 1 - Same plate first engraved for Paris: Didot L'Aîné-Deterville, 1799 (1st ed.), but now (2nd ed.) without frame and without signature. |
