Commentary Coypel emphasizes drama in this scene. A huge wild boar, surrounded by hunting dogs, is at the center of the composition; don Quixote's figure, driving his sword into the animal, is represented with dignity.
In the background, the Duke embraces the Duchess; she seems as a new Diana.
In the foreground, but just in one side, the humorous part: Sancho flees away climbing up a tree.
Good drawing and engraving.
In keeping with 17th and 18th centuries liking for hunting paintings. 
Notes 1 - Turned copy after Coypel’s illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1728-30).
