Commentary | In the inn courtyard, don Quixote is knighted by the innkeeper, who holds a sword and one book.
On the right, doña Tolosa, holding don Quixote's sword, and doña Molinera, holding a shield (it should be a pair of spurs); also the boy holding a candle (accurate to Cervantes' text). The other women have not been taken from the text. Drawing and engraving are quite poor. |

2 – Copy after the plate with Coypel's design for Paris: Compagnie des Libraires, 1732. 3 - Turned copy with a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, 1724). |
