This illustration, "Don Quixote", was created by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations. The scene depicts a moment from Miguel de Cervantes' classic novel, *Don Quixote*, where the titular character, Don Quixote, is reminded of his beloved Dulcinea del Toboso. This iconic scene captures the essence of Don Quixote's chivalrous delusions, as he mistakes ordinary objects, like the jars in this illustration, for symbols of his unattainable love. Doré's masterful use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic tension, making the scene both humorous and poignant. The engraving showcases Doré’s signature style – detailed, dynamic, and full of expressive detail, making this image a memorable visual representation of the classic novel.
