The intricate architecture of the setting, rendered in stark black and white, provides a sense of drama and mystery, mirroring the unfolding events of the story. Doré's mastery of detail and his ability to capture the raw emotion of the scene make this a powerful and unforgettable image, contributing significantly to the lasting legacy of "Don Quixote".
