Don Quixote and Sancho Panza is an oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Honoré Daumier, created c. 1868.

[2] The picture gives the impression of a hastily prepared sketch, because it is painted with wide brush strokes using a meager and basic color palette.

The rider holds knightly attributes, he is dressed in his armor, wears a shield and a lance, and his chest is proudly protruding.

The only detail that diversifies the background is the blurry shape visible on the horizon, perhaps it is the outline of a rickety tree or, as some interpreters believe, the figure of his squire, Sancho Panza.

He is a shadow that can be seen in the distance, in the horizon, cut out against the sky of intense blue color, as if forming part of the arid landscape.
