| Commentary | Sancho, pointing to don Quixote, introduces him to the Duchess, who rides a white horse and holds a goshawk (accurate to Cervantes' text).
Only one maiden accompanies the Duchess; in other illustrations, her retinue is larger. Since Paris: Surugue, 1723 - 1724, this gallant scene, with not many changes, is habitual in 18th and 19th centuries editions. Excellent drawing and engrving. |
| Notes | 1 – Turned copy in a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, 1723); the trees have been enlarged. |
