Dark painting of a thin man in a loose shirt slumped on a rocky ledge, with a seated figure in a hat at lower right.

"'Alas!' answered Sancho, 'I found him in his shirt, lean, pale, and almost starved, sighing for his Lady Dulcinea'" from Don Quixote

A pale, thin man in a loose shirt slumps on a rocky ledge, one bare leg hanging down, while a seated figure in a broad-brimmed hat watches from the shadowy lower right. Loose, dark brushwork and heavy shadow fill the stony, wooded setting of this painting after Gustave Doré's Don Quixote.

Español: Sancho encuentra a Don Quijote en camisa, según Gustave Doré

Un hombre delgado y pálido, con una camisa holgada, se recuesta en una saliente rocosa con una pierna desnuda colgando, mientras una figura sentada con sombrero de ala ancha observa desde la parte inferior derecha, en sombras.
