| Commentary | During his night round in Barataria Island, Governor Sancho discovers don Diego de la Llana's daughter disguised as a man. One soldier lights her with a lantern and one boy with a candle.
Light and shadow contrasts are not too much intense due to full moon light. Remarkable setting. Good and realistic drawing; well-engraved figures. |
| Notes | 1 – Copy in reduced format after Grignion's plate with Hayman's design for London: Millar, 1755.
2 – Same plate first engraved for London: T. Osborne, 1761 (2nd edition of T. Smollet’s translation). |
