Dark painted landscape of a robed figure with a tall lance on a rocky hillside, with a pale animal and crouching figure at right under a cloudy sky.

"He spied upon the top of a stony crag just before him a man that skipped from rock to rock with wonderful agility." from Don Quixote

A dark, loosely painted landscape shows a figure in a long robe holding a tall lance, standing on a rocky slope beneath a cloudy, pale sky. Beside rocks at right, a pale animal and a crouching figure are partly lost in shadow, with fern-like foliage in the foreground.
