Drawing and engraving are acceptable as a whole, but the movement of the figures is poor and the composition simple.
The windmill is not "manchego".

| Commentary | Don Quixote galloping on Rocinante and aiming his lance to attack one of the windmills.
Drawing and engraving are acceptable as a whole, but the movement of the figures is poor and the composition simple. The windmill is not "manchego". |
| Notes | 1 - Río y Rico reads the engraver's signature as "Cabot", but it should be read as "Caba"; it appears much clearer in "... Y A PUÑO CERRADO LE COMENZÓ Á DAR TANTOS GOLPES..." (vol. I, f.p. 364). |
