This wood engraving by Gustave Doré depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes' *Don Quixote*, specifically the moment when Sancho Panza finds Don Quixote performing penance. Doré was renowned for his dramatic and detailed illustrations, and his rendering of the scene captures the humor and pathos of Cervantes’ famous novel. The composition is well-balanced with Don Quixote resting at the top of a cliff and Sancho Panza in the lower right corner. The engraving's rich detail and dramatic lighting give a sense of depth and realism to the scene.
