This dramatic black and white illustration by Gustave Doré depicts a scene from the novel Don Quixote, a classic work of Spanish literature. In the image, a man named Fernando abducts a woman named Lucinda from the convent. Doré’s work is known for its detailed and expressive style, which brought the novel to life for a wider audience. The artist's dynamic composition and use of light and shadow create a sense of movement and drama. This illustration, like others in Doré’s oeuvre, captured the imagination of the public and continues to be appreciated today.
