This is a pair of illustrations by Gustave Doré for Miguel de Cervantes’s novel *Don Quixote*. The top illustration depicts Don Quixote, the titular knight errant, freeing some criminals from their chains. Doré’s dramatic style is on full display, as the characters are rendered with expressive lines and dramatic poses. The bottom illustration depicts a scene from the novel where goatherds discover a young man living in a hollow tree. Doré captures the mood of the scene with detailed drawings of the tree and the surrounding forest.
