| Commentary | Don Quixote tries to cut some nets, when two shepherdesses appear.
Well-known scene since Vanderbank (London: Tonson, 1738). Don Quixote and Rocinante's figures are acceptable, but, as a whole, drawing and engraving are simple and bad; the representation is not too much credible (the net is too much obvious as not to be seen). |
| Notes | Placed as a frontispiece. |
