Commentary | Maese Pedro, with his monkey, falls on his knees before don Quixote. Sancho and others observe them.
Small figures, some of them disproportionate (Maese Pedro), but drawing and engraving are good as a whole. This is one of the best illustrations of the set. |
Notes | Accompanied by the poem:
"Peter declares his Ape can all things tell, That are at present, or that have befel; But challenging the Knight, reveals no more Than what, unknown to them, he knew before". |
