Don Quixote 

This is a wood-engraving illustration by Gustave Doré depicting a scene from Miguel de Cervantes’ *Don Quixote*. This image is part of a series of engravings Dore created in the 1860s for an illustrated edition of the novel, a testament to his mastery of this technique. The image depicts a moment of heightened emotion, with a female figure calling out in desperation to a departing ship. The dark, stormy seascape and the expressive gestures of the figure create a powerful sense of drama. The detailed, realistic style of the illustration, characteristic of Doré’s work, captures the essence of this classic literary tale.
