This illustration by Gustave Doré, renowned for his detailed and dramatic imagery, depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes's classic novel "Don Quixote." The scene shows the titular character, Don Quixote, lying defeated on the ground after his encounter with windmills, mistakenly believing them to be giants. His loyal squire, Sancho Panza, rushes to his aid. Doré's masterful use of line and shading creates a powerful and memorable image that captures the novel's themes of chivalry, idealism, and the clash between reality and fantasy.
