Don Quixote 

This wood engraving by renowned French artist Gustave Doré depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes's iconic novel, "Don Quixote". Doré's illustration powerfully captures the melancholic mood of the scene, showcasing the titular character, Don Quixote, as he stands by the sea, remembering his past defeat. The detailed rendering of the landscape and the expressive figures, including the figures of Sancho Panza, Don Quixote's squire, and the animals, contribute to the evocative nature of the piece. Doré's masterful use of light and shadow, emphasizing the vastness of the sea and the solitary figure of Don Quixote, enhances the emotional impact of the image.
