Commentary In the foreground, Sancho wakes up and discovers that Ginés de Pasamonte has stolen his donkey; Don Quixote observes him with astonishment.
In the background, Ginés de Pasamonte running away with the donkey, although in Cervantes' text it is said: "y antes que amaneciese se halló bien lejos de poder ser hallado" (23:1).
The complete description of this scene (the saddle on four stakes) appears in chapter 4:2.
Well-detailed drawing and engraving. 
Notes 1 - Bernard Picart signs as "del." and "sculp." (draw and engraved).
2 - Copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30). The composition has been turned and the format now is vertical, so Picart has enlarged the trees.
3 - Picart died in 1733, so the plate was engraved in this year or before.
