This is a wood engraving by Gustave Doré, a famous French artist of the 19th century, illustrating scenes from Miguel de Cervantes's novel *Don Quixote*. The top image depicts Don Quixote, dressed as a shepherd, playing a pipe while sitting under a tree. Below, Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza are overwhelmed by a herd of pigs, a comedic scene that highlights the absurdity of Quixote's delusional quest. Doré’s illustrations are known for their dramatic detail and humor, making them a popular choice for editions of *Don Quixote* for over a century.
