Don Quixote and Sancho Pansa 

This charcoal sketch by Honoré Daumier, titled "Don Quixote and Sancho Pansa," captures the essence of Miguel de Cervantes's iconic novel. Daumier's dynamic lines and rough textures create a sense of immediacy and movement, bringing the characters to life. The viewer sees Don Quixote, mounted on his steed, riding off in the distance while Sancho Pansa, his faithful squire, is in the foreground, bent over as he examines something on the ground. Daumier's masterful use of chiaroscuro, the interplay of light and shadow, emphasizes the contrast between the two figures and their different perspectives. This drawing is a testament to Daumier's keen observation of human nature and his talent for translating literature into compelling visual art.
