	Commentary	Centrifugal composition (more movement) where don Quixote is the center and the other figures form a "V". On the left, the innkeeper and others. On the right, Sancho, the broken theater and others. Maese Pedro appears from inside the theater and his servant running away. Theatrical and baroque composition; all the characters are placed looking at the viewer and before a big curtain (backdrop). Drawing and engraving are masterly.
	Notes	1 - Plate XV (in the French edition, the plates aren't numbered). 2 - Copied after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1723). 3 - The composition has been turned and the format now is vertical, so Picart has enlarged the curtain (as J. Folkema did in La Haye: Gosse, 1744).
