| Commentary | Don Quixote testing his arms at his library.
Don Quixote's representation is more serious than comical. The room is quite tidied up; in contrast, other illustrations represent the library in a mess as a symbol of don Quixote becoming mad. Good drawing and engraving; academic. |
| Notes | 1 - Turned and good copy after Agustín Navarro's illustration for Madrid: Sancha, 1797-98.
2 - Placed as frontispiece. |
