Commentary Well-ballanced composition.
In the center is Cupid, dancing in front of a castle (where it should appear a Virgin).
On the right, as part of Cupid's retinue, Poetry (with Fame's trumpet), Prudence (as a prudent virgin with a small oil lamp), Nobility/Valour (with a crown) and Wisdom (Athena); Wisdom does not appear in Cervantes' original text, but she does in the French translations (Sagesse).
On the left, Wealth and his retinue: Liberality (with a cornucopia) and Largesse.
They should also appear Treasure and Quiet Possession, but they have not been represented.
The first retinue refers to Basilio, the second one to Camacho.
Sancho only eats while don Quixote observes this performance.
Drawing and engraving are quite acceptable. 
Notes 1 - Plate XII.
2 - Surrounded by a strong line enclosing underneath a space for inscription, which however has been left blank.
3 - Copy with some changes 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.
6 - Placed as frontispiece.
