Don Quixote's figure is remarkable, sat and leaned on his sword looking at the ape with attention.
Good drawing and engraving as a whole.

| Commentary | After asking Sancho to Maese Pedro's ape what is his wife doing, the monkey jumps onto Maese Pedro's shoulder to "tell" him the answer; don Quixote and others observe them.
Don Quixote's figure is remarkable, sat and leaned on his sword looking at the ape with attention. Good drawing and engraving as a whole. |
