Don Quixote 

This wood engraving, "Don Quixote," by Gustave Doré, is a powerful depiction of a scene from the classic Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. The work depicts the titular character and his squire Sancho Panza as they walk dejectedly, their journey having failed to live up to Don Quixote's chivalrous ideals. Doré's signature detailed style and dramatic use of light and shadow bring a sense of melancholy and resignation to the image. The engraving, created during the mid-19th century, captures the essence of Cervantes's enduring tale, highlighting the themes of idealism, disillusionment, and the human condition.
