| Commentary | Don Quixote is arrested by the officers of the Holy Brotherhood (one of them holds a paper with don Quixote's description). The priest and the barber arrive to help him.
Cold scene, without drama; simple composition. Drawing and engraving are acceptable. |
| Notes | Accompanied by the poem:
"Free when you will a Culprit or a Slave, You hurt an honest man, and serve a knave. Don Quixote by the Trooper's rightly serv'd, And meets the fate by merit he deserv'd". See London: Hodgkin, 1687 (first representation of this episode). |
