Commentary | After his first sally, don Quixote, on Pedro Alonso's mule, returns at home.
The housekeeper, his niece and the priest (or the barber) receive them. Rocinante carries don Quixote's arms. Drawing and engraving are quite remarkable and highly-detailed. |

2 – Same plate first engraved for London: T. Osborne, 1761 (2nd edition of T. Smollet’s translation). |
