| Commentary | Centrifugal composition (more movement) where don Quixote is the center and the other figures form a "V".
On the right, the innkeeper and others. On the left, Sancho, the broken theater and others. Maese Pedro appears from inside the theater and his servant running away. Theatrical and baroque composition; all the characters are placed looking at the viewer and before a big curtain (backdrop). Drawing and engraving are masterly. |
| Notes | 1 - "A Paris chez Surrugue au bas de la montagne Ste. Genevieve".
2 - This print was published in Paris by Louis Surugue c. 1723-25 after Coypel's design for a tapestry. |
