| Commentary | Centrifugal composition (more movement) where don Quixote attacking and destroying Maese Pedro's theater is the center and the other figures form a "V".
On the left, the innkeeper and others. On the right, Sancho, the broken theater and others. Maese Pedro appears from inside the theater and his servant running away. Theatrical and baroque composition; all the characters are placed looking at the viewer and before a big curtain (backdrop). Drawing and engraving are excellent; remarkable expressions and good light and shadow contrasts. |
| Notes | 1 – Turned copy in a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1723); the background curtain has been enlarged twice its original size. |
