	Commentary	In the foreground, with their backs turned to the viewer, as shadows, the Duke, the Duchess, don Quixote and Sancho; they observe the entry of Merlin´s cart with Dulcinea (in the background). The scene is resolved with simplicity, without details and little accurate to Cervantes´text (Merlin should appear as Death, not as a magician). Drawing and engraving are simple, without proper proportion; light and shadow effects are forced.
	Notes	1 - Photomechanical copy of the illustration appeared in Amberes: Verdussen, 1672-73 (same plate by unknown engraver first used for Brussels: Mommarte, 1662, which was a copy after Savery's illustration for Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
