| Commentary | At an inn, don Quixote asks don Álvaro Tarfe to declare that he is not the same don Quixote that don Álvaro Tarfe had met in Zaragoza; Sancho, a notary and the mayor are witnesses.
See gestures of don Quixote (left) and don Álvaro Tarfe (right). First representation of this episode; very original choice. Drawing and engraving are excellent and well-detailed in the figures. |

2 - Don Álvaro Tarfe is a character from Avellaneda's apocryphal Don Quixote (1614). |
