	Commentary	Doña Rodríguez, in mourning, asks the Duke and Duchess permission to talk with don Quixote (behind the Dukes accompanied by a servant?). The illustration is a very free interpretation of Cervantes' text; doña Rodríguez' daughter does not appear (the female figure on the left must be the Duchess according to the caption) and don Quixote has been represented as an English gentleman; maybe, it has been re-used from a different novel. Good classicist setting; it can be compared with the one in "DON QUIXOTE Examining the SLAVES one by one" (f.p. 65). The ornamental frame includes Love's arms and symbols; good decorative effect.
	Notes	Wrongly placed in part I; it should appear in Chap. XX, Book III, between pp. 438 and 439 in part II. The plate is not signed either by the illustrator or by the engraver, but Río y Rico attributes it to Riley and Scott, who sign the frontispiece. It is dated on April 12, 1794.
