Célestin Nanteuil's lithograph, "...y vio que à sus espaldas venian hasta seis ó siete hombres..." (c. 1855), depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes's *Don Quixote*. The print portrays Don Quixote, imprisoned in a cage, being transported by ox cart. Surrounding the cart are various figures, including townspeople and the men who are escorting Don Quixote. The use of detail in the engraving helps to bring the scene from the novel to life, capturing the humor and drama of Cervantes's work. This lithograph is a great example of the influence of literature on art, providing viewers with a visual representation of a beloved classic of Spanish literature.
