"Don Quixote" is a wood engraving by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations. The image captures a scene from Miguel de Cervantes’ classic novel, depicting the moment Dorotea pushes her unfaithful servant off a cliff. The engraving's dark and ominous tone, achieved through the use of contrast and strong lines, adds to the dramatic narrative, emphasizing the servant’s fall into the churning river. Doré's skill in capturing movement and emotion is evident in the piece, making this a powerful visual representation of the novel’s themes of betrayal and justice.
