| Commentary | In the foreground, don Quixote drinking through a cane held by the innkeeper; also doña Tolosa, doña Molinera and the swineherd; accurate to Cervantes text: "llegó a caso a la venta un castrador de puercos, y así como llegó, sonó un silbato de cañas" (2:1).

| Notes | 1 – Copied after illustration for Barcelona: Juan Jolis, 1755 (and 1762), copied after Madrid: Antonio Sanz, 1735, badly copied after Diego de Obregón’s illustration (Madrid: Andrés García de la Iglesia, 1674); the swineherd and don Quixote's first sally did not appear in Obregon's plate. |
