奥诺雷-杜米埃，布面油画，约1850年，普利斯通美术馆藏，312x396cm
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor, whose many works offer commentary on social and political life in France in the 19th century. Daumier produced over 500 paintings, 4000 lithographs, 1000 wood engravings, 1000 drawings and 100 sculptures. Daumier is best known for his caricatures of political figures and satires on the behavior of French people. He was also a painter and, for the last part of his life he was fascinated by Spanish literary hero Don Quixote. At the time of his death, Daumier had completed 49 drawings and 29 paintings within the Don Quixote theme.This version is regarded as his earliest on that subject. At this time, Daumier's eyesight was failing and he was falling into financial distress.
奥诺雷-维克多林-杜米埃（Honoré-Victorin Daumier）是一位法国版画家、漫画家和雕塑家，他通过许多作品对19世纪法国的社会和政治生活进行评论。杜米埃共创作了500多幅油画、4000张石版画、1000多张木版画、1000张素描和100余件雕塑。其中最出名的是他的政治人物漫画和对法国人行为的讽刺画。在生命的最后一段时间里，他对西班牙文学英雄唐吉诃德非常着迷。去世前，杜米埃完成了49幅素描和29幅以堂吉诃德为主题的油画。今天这幅画被认为是他最早版本的堂吉诃德。当时，杜米埃的视力正在衰退，财务上也逐渐面临窘境。
He passionately painted Don Quixote again and again, crossing desert and mountains with Sancho Panza or attacking a flock of sheep, mistaking them for the enemy. Towards the end of the series, it became impossible to identify the paintings with a particular scene from the novel: Daumier simply shows us, in simplified, loose brushwork, two men on horseback, isolated from society.
他充满热情一遍遍地描绘堂吉诃德，与桑丘-潘萨横越沙漠与山岭，或者攻击一群羊，把它们误认为敌人。在这个系列的最后几幅画中，我们已无法将其与小说中的某个特定场景联系起来：杜米埃只是用简单、松散的笔法，展示了两个在马背上与世隔绝的人影。
