This black and white illustration, titled "Don Quixote", is by Gustave Doré, a prolific French artist known for his detailed and dramatic engravings. Though no date is provided, it is likely from his series illustrating Miguel de Cervantes' classic novel of the same name, published in 1863. Doré's work captures the humor and absurdity of the story, as a group of villagers, including a child, look on in disbelief at the chivalrous knight, Don Quixote, who is being tricked by the simple village cook, who is pretending to have a mystical power over the villagers. The intricate detail and emotive characterization are typical of Doré's illustrative style.
