This sketch by Honoré Daumier depicts the famous literary duo Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, the characters from Miguel de Cervantes's novel. Don Quixote is depicted on horseback, with his squire, Sancho Panza, riding a donkey. The scene takes place in a mountainous landscape, with the characters’ simple clothing and expressions contributing to the sketch's overall sense of realism. Daumier’s work frequently explored social and political themes, using satire and caricature to address the foibles of human nature, this sketch exemplifies his approach, capturing the essence of the two iconic figures in a moment of their adventures.
