Don Quixote og Sancho Pansa forlader værtshuset 1810 - 1873

"Don Quixote og Sancho Pansa forlader værtshuset" (Don Quixote and Sancho Panza Leave the Inn) is a pencil drawing by Wilhelm Marstrand, created between 1810 and 1873. The drawing depicts the two iconic characters from Miguel de Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote" leaving an inn. Don Quixote, riding a donkey, is seen departing with his loyal squire Sancho Panza, as three women watch from the doorway. The drawing's loose and expressive lines capture the spirit of Cervantes' story, highlighting the humor and absurdity of Don Quixote's adventures. This work is a testament to Marstrand's skill as a draftsman and his deep understanding of the human condition. The drawing is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
