| Commentary | Don Quixote attacks and defeats the Knight of the Mirrors (Sansón Carrasco).
Sancho (climbed on a tree) and the Knight of the Mirrors' squire (Tomé Cecial) observe the secene. Drawing and engraving are quite remarkable; the figures of both knights on horseback have been drawn well. |

2 - It has not been copied either Bouttats' illustration (Amberes: Verdussen, 1672-73) or Clouzier's engraving (Paris: Compagnie des Libraires, 1700). |
