Don Quixote and the Windmills
A lance-bearing rider on a pale grey horse sits at left, while a stout figure in a broad hat rides a dark donkey beside a sunlit rocky cliff at right. Muted ochres and browns spread beneath a dusky sky, with tiny distant shapes on the horizon and loose, sketchy brushwork on a wood panel.
