| Commentary | Don Quixote, asleep, dreams with Minerva/Wisdom while Sancho remains captivated by Folly, holding a jester's scepter (Folly's symbol) and a crown and a castle (reference to the promised Island).
Don Quixote's arms and Mambrino's helmet (basin barber) stay aside abandoned. The quality of drawing and engraving is masterly; figures of great beauty; worth-noting allegorical scene. |
| Notes | 1 - "A Paris chez Surugue rue des Noyers".
2 - This print was published in Paris by Louis Surugue c. 1728-30 after Coypel's design for a tapestry. |
