Description: Two beautiful woman dressed in the attire of shepherdesses present themselves from among the trees. They are wearing corsets of fine brocade, and habits of rich gold lutestring. Their hair hangs loose about their shoulders, and their heads are crowned with garlands of laurel and amaranths. Their age seems to be around seventeen. The image is occasioned by Don Quixote getting caught in hunting nets set for birds.
