	Commentary	Accurate to Cervantes' text, the innkeeper, holding a sword and a book, knights don Quixote, knelt before him. Doña Tolosa (figure of great beauty) holds don Quixote's sword and doña Molinera a shield (it should be the spurs). It also appears the boy with a candle. Two other women (the one next to a well is very remarkable), do not belong to Cervantes' text. Drawing and engraving are masterly; female figures of great beauty; precise burin lines.
	Notes	1 - From set "Sold by G. Vander Gucht in Queen Street Bloomsbury" (London, c. 1725 or later); numbered as plate 2. 2 - Copy engraved by Gerard van der Gucht? after Coypel's illustration (Paris: Surugue, 1724); the composition has been turned in comparison with Coypel's, but they both have the same large horizontal format.
