Dorothée smeekt Don Quichot om hulp 1770

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1770 etching "Dorothée smeekt Don Quichot om hulp" depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes's classic novel *Don Quixote*. The illustration features a kneeling woman, Dorothée, begging for help from Don Quixote, a tall man dressed in armour, while a group of people look on. This artwork is a fine example of the 18th-century fascination with literary illustrations, and it's a testament to the enduring popularity of *Don Quixote*. The etching is part of a series of illustrations that Chodowiecki created for the novel, which are now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
