Don Quixote 2000

Scott Gustafson's *Don Quixote* (2000) depicts a scene from the famous novel by Miguel de Cervantes. The painting features Don Quixote, a delusional knight errant, on his horse Rocinante, and his squire, Sancho Panza, on his donkey. They are confronted by a windmill, which Quixote mistakes for a fearsome giant. Gustafson's signature style is evident in the detailed brushwork and the warm, realistic color palette. The humorous portrayal of the iconic characters, along with the idyllic rural setting, captures the essence of Cervantes's masterpiece.
