Pierre Charles Trémolières' "Sancho Panza Being Tossed in a Blanket" is an oil painting created in 1723-1724. The scene depicts the famous character from Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote," Sancho Panza, being tossed in the air by a group of men. The painting's intimate scale and rich detail capture the boisterous energy of this popular form of entertainment. This playful scene, a traditional jest that predates Cervantes’ novel, highlights Trémolières' talent for capturing the drama of everyday life.
