| Commentary | Don Quixote with the barber basin and Rocinante. Sancho with his donkey. Well-defined iconography.
Over the left pedestal, "AMADIS"; over the right one, "ROLANDO". Both as classical statues. Above, a medallion with Dulcinea's portrait. Drawing is clumsy and disproportionate. |
| Notes | 1 - Same plate first used for Brussels: Mommarte, 1662; copy by unknown engraver after Savery's frontispiece (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
