Don Quixote in an armchair 1934

"Don Quixote in an Armchair" is an expressive painting by Polish artist Zygmunt Waliszewski, created in 1934. The piece depicts a seated, bare-chested figure, presumably Don Quixote, engrossed in a book, with a striking, almost abstract backdrop of green and red colors. His outstretched arm points toward a doorway where two figures are visible, adding a sense of narrative and depth. Waliszewski's use of bold lines and vibrant colors contributes to the dynamism of the composition, highlighting the psychological state of Don Quixote. The painting embodies the artist's characteristic style, known for its emotional intensity and focus on human emotions.
