| Commentary | Scene where the main characters are Sancho and his donkey; the donkey embraced by a child in the foreground (well-drawn and engraved figures).
In the background, don Quixote, secondary. Metaphorical sense of the episode; on the left, a student says: "de esta manera habían de salir de sus gobiernos todos los malos Gobernadores, como sale este pecador del profundo abismo, muerto de hambre, descolorido y sin blanca" (55:2). In the distance, Duke's palace. Drawing and engraving are quite acceptable. |
| Notes | 1 - Despite the inscription "Antonio Carnicero delt.", it is a copy after Isidro and Antonio Carnicero's illustration for Madrid: Ibarra, 1782; don Quixote's position has been changed from the right to the left. |
