Idylls of the King 

This illustration by Gustave Doré depicts a scene from the Arthurian legends, likely referencing Sir Lancelot's encounter with Sir Gareth in the story "Idylls of the King" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The image is rendered in a dramatic, almost theatrical style, capturing the moment of discovery. The use of light and shadow highlights the figures and creates a sense of depth and intrigue. Doré's work is well known for its detailed illustrations of classic literature, which brought these stories to life for a wide audience.
