Don Quixote de la Mancha and Sancho Panza, 1863, by Gustave Doré. Don Quixote, the idealistic and gaunt knight, is depicted riding his thin, weary horse, Rocinante. He appears tall, with a determined yet distant expression, embodying his chivalric delusions. Sancho Panza, his loyal and pragmatic squire, follows beside him on his stout donkey, Dapple. His figure contrasts Quixote’s—shorter, rounder, and more grounded in reality.
