	Commentary	Cervantes' portrait in an oval frame. Based on William Kent's design (London: Tonson, 1738), but now in a forced three quarters. At the bottom, usual iconographical elements: lire and Apollo laurel wreath (Cervantes as a poet); helmet, sword, lance, armor glove, spurs and shield decorated with a "sad countenance" (Cervantes as a soldier and as "Don Quixote" author). Drawing and engraving are of excellent quality (see detailed shading in Cervantes' face and in background).
	Notes	1 - Signed and dated in 1780. 2 - Same plate first engraved for Leipzig: Caspar Fritsch, 1780-81.
