Commentary Don Quixote's first sally allegorical representation.
Don Quixote, with Rocinante, protected by Folly (with the basin and a jester scepter) and Love (Cupid holding a torch touching don Quixote's heart and pointing to Dulcinea).
Dulcinea appears as a French Lady carrying wheat, as Sancho refers in chapter 31:1.
In the background, a windmill half-transformed into a giant (8:1) and a flock of sheep with lances (18:1).
Drawing and engraving are quite poor. 
Notes 1 - Plate II.
2 - Surrounded by a strong line enclosing underneath a space for inscription, which however has been left blank.
3 - Copy after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, c. 1724).
4 - Probably, the copy has been done after the plate for Paris/La Haye: Chez Bleuet, 1774, which has a similar frame and underneath space but with caption.
5 - The plate is not signed.
