	Commentary	Coypel emphasizes drama in this scene. An enormous wild boar, surrounded by hunting dogs, is in the composition center; don Quixote's figure, driving his sword into the animal, is highlighted with dignity. In the background, the Duke embraces the Duchess; she seems a new Diana. In the foreground, but just in one side, the humorous part: Sancho flees away climbing a tree. In keeping with 17th and 18th centuries liking for hunting paintings. Drawing and engraving are excellent; detailed faces (don Quixote and frightened Sancho); figures of great beauty (servants, Duke and Duchess); variety of positions; well-resolved movement and drama (dogs); detailed nature.
