This wood engraving, "Don Quixote," depicts a scene from Miguel de Cervantes's novel, *Don Quixote*. Created by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his dramatic illustrations, this image captures a moment of romance and chivalry. A figure, likely the titular Don Quixote, stands beneath a grand, ornate window, serenaded by a woman, possibly his love interest, Dulcinea. Doré's style is characterized by its detailed, almost photographic, rendering, bringing the story to life with vividness. The engraving's rich contrast and intricate lines create a sense of depth and theatricality, making it a powerful example of Doré's talent for storytelling through illustration.
