| Commentary | Don Quixote's first sally allegorical representation.
Don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, protected by Folly (with the barber basin and a jester scepter) and Love (Cupid holding a torch touching don Quixote's heart and pointing to Dulcinea). Dulcinea appears as a French Lady carrying wheat, as Sancho refers in chapter 31:1. In the background, a windmill half-transformed into a giant (8:1) and a flock of sheep with lances (18:1). The engraving tries to keep the details from the originals, but the result is lightly acceptable. |
| Notes | 1 - Copied after Demeuse's engraving (Francfort: Bassompierre, 1750) after Charles-Antoine Coypel's design (first appeared in Paris: Surugue, c. 1724; also copied for La Haye: P. Gosse & A. Moetjens, 1744 and later editions). |
