Sancho Pansas og Don Quixotes hoveder 1810 - 1873

This pencil sketch, “Sancho Pansas og Don Quixotes hoveder,” by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, depicts a scene from the classic novel Don Quixote. The drawing showcases the distinct personalities of the two characters, with Don Quixote's heroic and idealistic nature juxtaposed with Sancho Panza's more grounded and practical approach. Marstrand, known for his historical and literary themes, captures the essence of the novel through this small, yet evocative, study, now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
