| Commentary | Two different scenes in the same plate (archaic):
In the foreground, at Juan Palomeque's inn, Sancho's blanketing is observed by don Quixote from behind the inn wall. In the background, don Quixote fighting with a flock of sheep. Simple composition that will be used until the 20th century. Drawing and engraving are poor and simple. |
| Notes | 1 - Photomechanical copy of the illustration appeared in Amberes: Verdussen, 1672-73 (same plate by unknown engraver first engraved for Brussels: Mommarte, 1662, which was a clumsy copy after Savery's composition for Dordrecht: Savery, 1657). |
