The chosen moment -don Quixote and Sancho are still sleeping but the donkey has already been stolen- is especially comical.
Drawing and engraving are excellent, but deficient printing.

| Commentary | While Sancho and don Quixote are sleeping on their mounts in Sierra Morena, Ginés de Pasamonte steals the donkey, leaving Sancho on the packsaddle and four stakes.
The chosen moment -don Quixote and Sancho are still sleeping but the donkey has already been stolen- is especially comical. Drawing and engraving are excellent, but deficient printing. |
| Notes | Same plate engraved by Brévière with Tony Johannot's design for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37; in 1836-37, it illustrated chapter 4:2. |
