Don Quixote in the Sable Mountains 1782

"Don Quixote in the Sable Mountains" is an etching created in 1782 by Robert Blyth. The artwork depicts the titular character from Miguel de Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote" sitting in a mountainous landscape. The scene is reminiscent of the famous literary character's delusions of grandeur, with the figure of Quixote appearing lost in his own thoughts. The etching is a fine example of the artistic trends of the 18th century, utilizing strong lines and shading to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
