	Commentary	Rich and great scene in keeping with 18th century liking for court theater and allegorical and symbolic literature. Well-ballanced composition; in the center, Cupid, dancing in front of a castle where a Virgin is protected. On the left, as part of Cupid's retinue, Poetry (with Fame's trumpet), Prudence (as a prudent virgin with a small oil lamp), Nobility/Valour (with a crown) and Wisdom (Athena); Wisdom does not appear in Cervantes' original text, but she does in the French translations (Sagesse). On the right, Wealth's retinue: Liberality (with the cornucopia and a pair of compasses) and Largesse. They should also appear Treasure and Quiet Possession, but Coypel has not represented them. The first retinue refers to Basilio, the second one to Camacho. Sancho eats while don Quixote observes this performance. Drawing and engraving are excellent.
	Notes	1 - This same plate was used for London: Walthoe, 1731. 2 - Turned copy after Coypel’s illustration engraved by Hortemels (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724).
