	Commentary	Rich and great scene where it is reflected 18th century liking for court theater and allegorical and symbolic literature. In the well-ballanced composition, the center is Cupid, dancing in front of a castle where a Virgin is protected. On the right, as part of Cupid's retinue, Poetry (with Fame's trumpet), Prudence (as a prudent virgin with a small oil lamp), Nobility/Valour (with a crown) and Wisdom (Athena); Wisdom doesn't appear in Cervantes' text, but she does in the French translations (sagesse). On the right, Wealth's retinue: Liberality (with the "cornucopia" and a pair of compasses) and Largesse (embracing Liberality). They should also appear Treasure and Quiet Possession, but they have not been represented. The first retinue refers to Basilio, the second one to Camacho. Sancho only eats while don Quixote observes this performance. Drawing, engraving, shading and details are of excellent quality. Allegorical figures of great beauty.
