| Commentary | In the center of the composition, don Quixote driving his sword into an enormous wild boar surrounded by hunting dogs; Coypel emphasizes drama in this scene.
In the background, the Duke embracing the Duchess; she looks like a new Diana. In the foreground, but just in one side, the humorous part: Sancho flees away climbing up a tree. Excellent drawing and engraving; detailed setting and good expressions. |
| Notes | 1 – Turned copy in a new vertical format after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30); the trees have been enlarged.
2 - Fokke re-engraved again this scene for La Haye: Hondt, 1746. |
