| Commentary | In the center: Quiteria and Basilio, who pretends to have stabbed himself; both well-lighted.
On the right, Camacho ready to draw his sword. From the left, don Quixote goes to stop him, while Sancho stays protecting his food. Also a priest and several women. Theatrical composition. Drawing and engraving are excellent. |
| Notes | 1 - Although Picart has signed as "del. et sculp." (draw and engraved), this is a copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724).
2 - 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. |
