Commentary Don Quixote and Sancho mounted on Clavileño while several servants simulate its flight with bellows and torchs; one of them has lighted its fuse.
The Duke and Duchess observe the scene.
Set in a Versailles like garden (baroque architectures, hedges, one terminus...).
Well-known composition since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657), but now it has been enriched.
Light and shadow effects are remarkable.
Excellent and detailed drawing and engraving. 
Notes 1 - Photomechanical copy (rough, too dark) of the illustration appeared in Amsterdam/Leipzig: Arkstée & Merkus, 1755.
2 - Copy after Coypel's design (first appeared in Surugue: Paris, c. 1728-30; also copied for La Haye: Pierre de Hondt, 1746).
3 - Same plate first engraved for La Haye: P. Gosse & A. Moetjens, 1744.
