More about this artwork

In this striking artwork titled "Don Quixote" (1897), artist William Nicholson presents a beautifully simplified depiction of the iconic literary character, Don Quixote. Crafted with bold, flat areas of color and distinct, clean outlines, the painting captures the figure of Quixote mounted on his horse, Rocinante. Quixote is portrayed as a balding, elderly knight, his face turned towards the viewer, embodying a sense of resolved determination and poignant idealism that are central to his character.The background features the words “LYCEUM DON QUIXOTE," likely referencing a theatrical adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes’ novel at the Lyceum Theatre. Nicholson's use of minimalistic yet evocative forms and limited color palette—primarily tones of tan and black—highlights his skill in conveying complex narratives through graphic simplicity.
