Description: In the centre of the composition, the innkeeper knights Don Quixote, who kneels before him. The knight wears his armour and his helmet. Doña Molinera holds his sword and Doña Tolosa holds his spurs (left). A boy holding a candle (right) is also pictured. Two other women, who do not appear in Cervantes’ text, watch the proceedings. The scene is accurately depicted at night: the characters are illuminated by the light of the boy’s candle and that of the moon, partially obscured by clouds. Signed by J.-J.-G. Haas (engraver). Part 1, ch. 3.
