Description: Don Quixote finds himself caught in nets of green string that are stretched between trees. Imagining that enchanters want to entangle him, he tries to break the nests when two shepherdesses appear before him and Sancho Panza. They are dressed in jackets and skirts made of fine brocade and rich moiré shot with gold. They invite the errant knight and his squire to dine with them and their friends in field tents (background) that they have put up along the banks of a stream. Signed by J.-J.-F. Le Barbier (illustrator) and J.-J. Coiny (engraver). Part 2, ch. 58.
