Don Quixote 

This wood-engraving by Gustave Doré, known for his illustrations of classic literature, depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote. It features a distinctive, dramatic style characteristic of Doré's work, conveying the novel's blend of humor and tragedy. Doré's use of line and detail captures the absurdity and pathos of Don Quixote's adventures, making the image both entertaining and thought-provoking. The engraving illustrates the moment when Don Quixote encounters the Knight of the Woods, a chivalrous knight who helps Don Quixote to win his battle with a shepherd, though Don Quixote believes the shepherd is a formidable knight himself. This is one of many scenes from the novel that Doré illustrated in the 19th century.
