Don Quixote and Sancho observe one of the dances in Camacho's wedding; "También le pareció bien otra que entró de doncellas hermosísimas [...]. Guiábalas un venerable viejo y una anciana matrona [...]. Hacíales el són una gaita zamorana" (20:2). Court scene in keeping with Coypel's liking. The stylized dancing shepherdesses and the bagpipes player are quite remarkable. Drawing and engraving of great quality, but badly preserved. |
| Notes | 1 – Turned copy in a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724); the trees have been enlarged and the figures appear closer among themselves. |
