| Commentary | Well-known scene since Savery (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657).
Well-resolved composition; don Quixote attacks Maese Pedro's theater before an astonished public and Sancho. Accurate details (Maese Pedro's patch, his servant holding a wand to tell the story...). Some details (lamp) are copied from Coypel (Paris: Surugue, 1724). Poor engraving and printing. |
| Notes | 1 - Xylographic copy after the plate engraved by Satchwell for New York: Huntington, 1814-15.
2 - Placed as frontispiece. |
