| Commentary | Accurate to Cervantes' text, the innkeeper, holding a sword and a book, knights don Quixote, knelt before him.
Doña Tolosa holds don Quixote's sword and doña Molinera a shield (it should be don Quixote's spurs). It also appears the boy with a candle. Two other women do not belong to Cervantes' text. Acceptable engraving, but with some notable disproportions. |
| Notes | 1 - Plate nº 2.
2 - Copied after Coypel's designs appeared in La Haye: Gosse & Moetjens, 1744 (and later editions). 3 - Unsigned. |
