Commentary Don Quixote attacks Maese Pedro's theater and puppets before Sancho and an astonished public.
Well-resolved composition.
Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
Accurate details (monkey without tail, Maese Pedro's patch, his servant holding a wand to tell the story...).
Some details (lamp) are copied from Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724).
One of the best illustrations of the whole edition; good composition, drawing and engraving; good effect of movement, expressions and gestures; figures of excellent engraving and drawing (see Sancho Panza and don Quixote). 
Notes 1 - Signed in Madrid, 1777.
