	Commentary	In a French court garden, countess Trifaldi shows her beard to don Quixote, amazing him and Sancho. The composition is created with gestures and looks: the Duchess orders two maidens to be quiet; the Duke laughs; Sancho's surprised; don Quixote's astonished. On the left, Trifaldín's figure is very remarkable, although he should hold a scimitar, not a mace. Well-detailed drawing and engraving.
	Notes	1 - From set "Sold by G. Vander Gucht in Queen Street Bloomsbury" (London, c. 1725 or later); numbered as plate 11. 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.
