Don Quixote and Sancho kneel before three peasant girls mounted on donkeys. Sancho introduces one of the peasant girls as the enchanted Dulcinea and don Quixote tries to kiss her foot. The three peasant girls are represented as French maidens. Baroque landscape including a lake with fishermen (very different from La Mancha landscape). Excellent drawing and engraving. |
| Notes | 1 - This print was published in Paris by Louis Surugue c. 1728-31 after Coypel's design for a tapestry. |
